Modern Palau
The Germans took great
efforts to establish coconut harvesting & mining. Germany
also introduced health care &
fought epidemics of dysentery & influenza which had killed some 35 000 people, leaving
a
population of 4000. In 1914 Japan occupied Palau & continued to encourage agriculture,
mining, & fishing. Palau
developed under Japanese control for the next 30 years.
