In 1899, the United States divided control of the Samoa Islands with Germany.

Explanation:

In 1899, the Tripartite Convention resolved the long-standing Samoan crisis between the German Empire, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The agreement provided for the Samoa archipelago to be divided between Germany and the United States and for the United Kingdom to be rewarded with other Pacific islands. The western part of Samoa became a German colony (German Samoa), while the eastern part became a protectorate of the United States (American Samoa). The precursors of the tripartite convention of 1899 were: the Washington conference of 1887, the Berlin treaty of 1889 and the Anglo-German agreement of 1899.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
