I'm glad I stumbled upon this article about a tiny island in #Micronesia - part of the Marshall Islands which were occupied by #japan. During #WWII they were invaded, occupied and administrated by the USA.

Once nicknamed "Execution Island", it hosted trials (and an execution) for war crimes. And that's just a drop in the bucket for the islands, which are still occupied by the US military as a missile defence site to this day.

Kwajalein Atoll - Wikipedia

Surprisingly I didn't learn about Kwajalein from #DanielImmerwhar's impressive 'How To Hide an Empire', but rather from a 1979 At&t historical video, showcasing the development of anti-balistic missile systems, of which #BellLabs were the lead developers - for over 20 years.
