Guam (Listeni/ˈɡwɑːm/; Chamorro: Guåhån) is an organized, unincorporated territory of the United States located in the western Pacific Ocean. It is one of five U.S. territories with an established civilian government. Guam is listed as one of sixteen Non-Self-Governing Territories by the Special Committee on Decolonization of the United Nations.[5] The island's capital is Hagåtña (formerly Agaña). Guam is the largest and southernmost of the Mariana Islands.
The Chamorros, Guam's indigenous people, first populated the island approximately 4,000 years ago. The island has a long history of European colonialism, beginning with its discovery by Ferdinand Magellan during a Spanish expedition on March 6, 1521. The first colony was established in 1668 by Spain with the arrival of settlers including Padre San Vitores, a Catholic missionary. For more than two centuries Guam was an important stopover for the Spanish Manila Galleons that crossed the Pacific annually. The island was controlled by Spain until 1898, when it was surrendered to the United States during the Spanish-American War and later formally ceded as part of the Treaty of Paris.

Guam (Guåhån en chamorro, también llamado Guaján en español, hoy en desuso), es una isla en el Pacífico occidental, perteneciente a Estados Unidos como territorio no incorporado. Es uno de los 16 territorios no autónomos bajo supervisión del Comité de Descolonización de las Naciones Unidas, con el fin de eliminar el colonialismo.
Guam fue territorio español, gobernado como parte de la Capitanía General de las Filipinas desde el siglo XVI hasta 1898 cuando fue anexionada en el contexto de la Guerra hispano-estadounidense. Se trata de la más grande y meridional de las Islas Marianas.
