Stuck in someone else's frame? Break out to ScubaPhoto.com's home page by clicking here You cannot understand Yap without a feeling for the history and geography. The government of Micronesia maintains information about Yap Yap Island and three other islands within a fringing barrier reef make up "Yap Proper". Yap Proper and outlying islands, like Ulithi Atoll, spread over hundreds of miles of Pacific ocean make up Yap State of the Federated States of Micronesia. Yap State is in the western Pacific between Guam and the Philippines, on the eastern edge of the Philippine Sea. To help with the geography, check out the Map of Micronesia Micronesia has had a stormy history . Most of the current states grew from a simple, almost feudal, existence in the mid 1800s to being pivotal in the global struggle called World War II. Yap's history is very parallel to Chuuk's . The Yappese have a strong tradition as navigators and sailors. Their stone money derives its value from the extent of oceanic exploit which was required to obtain it. The history of Western involvement with Yap traces to British and Spanish exploration up through the end of the 19th century, when Spain was claiming title to Yap. The loss of the Spanish American War left Spain cash poor and the islands were sold to Germany in 1898. Germany's loss of World War I brought Yap under the Japanese "mandate". The allied victory in World War II brought Yap to be a Trust Territory of The United States. In 1979 four island groups (including Yap) became the four Federated States of Micronesia.
