Tripartite Convention (1899)
The Tripartite Convention of 1899 partitioned the Samoan Islands between Germany and the United States. Signed by Germany, Britain and the United States after the Second Samoan Civil War, it gave Germany the western islands of Upolu and Savaiʻi and the United States the eastern islands, including Tutuila. Britain gave up its claims in return for German concessions in Tonga, the Solomon Islands and West Africa.
