The islands are located to the southeast of the UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}}, and it's believed that they were first settled by the ancestors of the Filipinos (or their close relatives) during the earliest stage of Austronesian expansion in the 3rd millennium BCE. Like Chamorro (the national language of UsefulNotes/{{Guam}}), the Palauan language is neither Micronesian nor Polynesian, and occupies a rather isolated place within the Malayo-Polynesian language family, as it doesn't seem to be closely related to any other Malayo-Polynesian language.
The Europeans discovered Palau in 1522. As with many other territories of the area, the islands passed between Spanish, German, Japanese and American control. When under administration of the latter, they decided to not join the UsefulNotes/FederatedStatesOfMicronesia. Their independence was recognized in 1994.
Originally in English the country's name was spelled "Pelew". In 1783 the British ship ''Antelope'' was shipwrecked on the island, but the people helped the British repair it. In gratitude, its captain Henry Wilson agreed to bring back the king's son, Prince Le Boo, to visit Britain--unfortunately he died soon afterwards of smallpox, but it was one of the first introductions of Europeans to Pacific culture.

After a ''very'' brief period in which it was controlled by the Philippines during the UsefulNotes/SpanishAmericanWar, Palau was handed over to UsefulNotes/ImperialGermany, as Spain restructured its assets by selling its Pacific territories for 25 million pesetas. Following UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, Germany was forced to give up all of its overseas territories, including Palau, which was assigned to UsefulNotes/ImperialJapan.
During UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, the islands witnessed heavy fighting between the Japanese and Americans, who ultimately occupied them. Palau remained administered by the United States until 1994, when it ratified the Compact of Free Association, which recognized Palauan independence, though the U.S. will still provide matters in defense and social services. Micronesia had earlier ratified the compact in 1986, but Palau decided to delay it, as it didn't want to be gobbled up by Micronesia.

The Republic of Palau ('''Palauan:''' ''Beluu er a Belau'') is an island nation in the geographic region of Micronesia (do not confuse with UsefulNotes/FederatedStatesOfMicronesia, they don’t like it).
The Palauan creation myth attributes the islands being made from [[GiantCorpseWorld the corpse of a giant]], who himself was born to a giant clam that answered to the spirits' plea for life by spitting it out one by one. The name Palau is traditionally derived from the word ''aibebelau'' ("indirect replies"), which refers to this myth, though linguists seem more inclined to believe that it came from the word ''beluu'', which means "village" or "territory".
