Beschreibung:
Before the creation of the Division, territories and colonies of the United States were managed by different bureaucracies. Alaska and Hawaii were under the Department of the Interior. The Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa were overseen by the US Navy, while the Philippines and Puerto Rico were administered by the Bureau of Insular Affairs of the War Department. Dr. Ernest Gruening had been a journalist and was an anti-imperialist advocate. He brought to the newly founded Division a diplomatic mindset and a vast knowledge on Latin America.
