The American Equatorial Islands Colonization Project was a plan initiated in 1935 by the United States Department of Commerce to place U.S. citizens on uninhabited Howland, Baker, and Jarvis Islands in the central Pacific Ocean so that weather stations and landing fields could be built for military and commercial use on air routes between Australia and California. Additionally, the U.S. government wanted to claim these remote islands to provide a check on eastern territorial expansion by the Empire of Japan. During the seven years of colonization, more than 130 young men participated in the project, the majority of whom were primarily young Native Hawaiian men and other male students recruited from schools in Hawaii, who became known as Hui Panalāʻau. In 1937, the project was expanded to include Canton and Enderbury in the Phoenix Islands. On December 8, coinciding with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the three islands were bombed which killed two colonists. The islands continued to be attacked, and the project ended in early 1942, when the colonists were rescued from the islands at the start of the War in the Pacific.
