The Northern Mariana Islands are a U.S. territory in Oceania, with a rich history including Spanish, Japanese, and American influences. Discovered by Magellan in 1521, they were colonized by Spain and later administered by Japan before becoming part of the U.S. after World War II, where intense battles were fought, such as the Battle of Saipán. Today, this commonwealth offers a unique blend of cultures and landscapes, with islands like Saipán, Tinián, and Rota preserving remnants of their colonial past and offering a singular experience in the Pacific.
