Tripartite Convention Partition
- When
- 1899
- Where
- Samoan Islands
The Tripartite Convention of 1899 partitioned the Samoan islands between the US and Germany, while a joint commission abolished the Samoan kingship in June 1899.
At the war's conclusion in 1899, the United States was granted the eastern section of the Samoan islands and Germany the western section, while the British received the northern Solomon Islands of Choiseul, Isabel, and the Shortland Islands that had formerly belonged to Germany. The war resulted, via the Tripartite Convention of 1899, in the partition of the Samoan Islands into American Samoa and German Samoa. Separately, a joint commission of Germany, the United States, and Great Britain abolished the Samoan kingship in June 1899.
