Initially a German possession, Nauru was occupied by Australia in 1914-11. The League of Nations mandated it to the British Empire on 1920-12-17. Nauru was occupied by Japan during World War II. The United Nations extended the League of Nations mandate as a trusteeship of Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom on 1947-11-01. Nauru became independent in 1968.
Nauru is divided into fourteen districts.
