薩摩亞統一

自從列強在1899年三方公約（英語：Tripartite Convention）中將薩摩亞群島瓜分以後，薩摩亞（或西薩摩亞）和美屬薩摩亞——薩摩亞群島上兩個擁有共同民族和文化的地區——的統一(或者「再統一」)，在20世紀上半葉已被提出。1919年，西薩摩亞就已在巴黎指出，希望與美屬薩摩亞再次統一^[1]。然而之後，西薩摩亞卻在1920年至1946年期間變成了英國統治下的西薩摩亞託管地、在1946年至1962年期間由新西蘭管理。1955年，全薩摩亞顧問委員會建立，力圖推動兩個地區之間的合作^[2]。然而，Richard Barrett Lowe（英語：Richard Barrett Lowe）（1953年-1956年間擔任美屬薩摩亞總督）卻聲稱與西屬薩摩亞的再統一不會在這個委員會中討論^[3]。1969年，美屬薩摩亞的另一個政治委員會拒絕了跟獨立的薩摩亞統一^[4]。

支持和反對統一的情緒近年來一直互有消長^[5] 。一些西薩摩亞的政治領袖在商討把西薩摩亞變為美國託管地，以在未來跟美屬薩摩亞統一^[6] 。而雖然美屬薩摩亞人一直有着很強的薩摩亞民族認同，但在美屬薩摩亞並沒有大型的獨立浪潮或薩摩亞統一運動^[7]。1997年，美屬薩摩亞對西薩摩亞改名為「薩摩亞」表示抗議，因為這暗示着西薩摩亞統治了整個薩摩亞群島^[8]。
