 N/A The islands were under the control of Spain from the mid-1500's, Germany from 1899 - 1919 and then occupied by the Empire of Japan beginning in World War 1 and lasting into 1944. They became under US administration as part of the UN Trust Territory of the Pacific at the end of World War II. The people of the Northern Mariana Islands decided in the 1970s not to seek independence but instead to forge closer links with the US. Negotiations for territorial status began in 1972. A covenant to establish a commonwealth in political union with the US was approved in 1975, and came into force in March 1976. A new government and constitution went into effect in 1978. The Commonwealth is in political union with the US and is self-governing, with a locally elected governor, lieutenant governor, and legislature. Federal funds to the Commonwealth are administered by the US Department of the Interior, Office of Insular Affairs. (ref: CIA World Factbook).
