The '''Republic of the Marshall Islands''' ('''Marshallese:''' ''Aolepān Aorōkin Ṃajeḷ'') is [[RunningGag another bunch of atolls and islands]] in {{UsefulNotes/Oceania}}. The official languages are English and Marshallese.

The islands were once a Spanish colony until {{UsefulNotes/Spain}} sold it to {{UsefulNotes/Germany}}. In the UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, they lost it, like their other colonies, to {{UsefulNotes/Japan}}. After UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, their administration passed to the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates, which decided to conduct a few nuclear tests on the atolls - they even [[NukeEm destroyed]] some atolls with the explosions, evacuating the people there beforehand. The country declared independence in 1979.

The '''Republic of the Marshall Islands''' ('''Marshallese:''' ''Aolepān Aorōkin Ṃajeḷ'') is [[RunningGag another bunch a island country that consists of hundreds of islands in UsefulNotes/{{Oceania}}, spread over 30 atolls and islands]] in {{UsefulNotes/Oceania}}. 5 independent islands. It is sandwiched between two fellow atoll countries, the UsefulNotes/FederatedStatesOfMicronesia and UsefulNotes/{{Kiribati}}. The Marshall Islands are a part of Micronesia, a cultural region of the Pacific Ocean, and their official languages are English and Marshallese.

The islands were once a probably settled by the Malayo-Polynesians from the UsefulNotes/SolomonIslands in the 2nd millennium BCE. Spanish colony explorer Alonso de Salazar was the first European to see the islands in 1526, though actual contact with the islanders would not occur until {{UsefulNotes/Spain}} sold it to {{UsefulNotes/Germany}}. In a couple of decades later.

The islands were formally annexed by UsefulNotes/{{Germany}} in 1885, following negotiations between
the Germans and British regarding their Pacific sphere of influence. After UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, they lost it, them, like their other Pacific colonies, to {{UsefulNotes/Japan}}. After UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, their administration passed to the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates, which decided to conduct a few nuclear tests on the atolls - they even [[NukeEm destroyed]] some atolls with the explosions, evacuating the people there beforehand. The country declared independence in 1979.

Probably the most famous landmark of the Marshall Islands is Bikini Atoll (the type of swimwear was named after it, not the other way around) and its bottom, where ''WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}'' and company reside. [[FridgeBrilliance Actually, considering the nuclear tests in the area, the sheer weirdness of Bikini Bottom should be a surprise to nobody]]. Nuclear testing contaminated the soil to the point that the residents of the atoll had to be relocated.

Also culturally notable is both the Mike test of the first thermonuclear "[[BigBulkyBomb weapon]]" during Operation Ivy in 1952 and the infamous Bravo test during Operation Castle conducted in 1954, the error in fuel used resulted in a magnified blast yield, resulting in a massive contamination of fallout which perhaps inspired and is featured heavily in the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' mythos as part of the Big Guy's OriginStory. ''VideoGame/RisingStorm'', interestingly, unlike most other World War II games set in the Pacific, actually bothers to cover the Battle of Kwajalein between the US 7th Infantry Division and the Imperial Japanese Army.

Also culturally notable is the Castle Bravo nuclear test conducted in 1954. Aside from being the first hydrogen bomb detonated, the test features heavily in the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' mythos as part of the Big Guy's OriginStory. ''VideoGame/RisingStorm'', interestingly, unlike most other World War II games set in the Pacific, actually bothers to cover the Battle of Kwajalein between the US 7th Infantry Division and the Imperial Japanese Army.
