FSM History

The Amtsblatt reports 8,449 people counted on Truk, with the total estimated at about 11,000.

What happened

This is the only German head count, rather than estimate, for Chuuk, and it listed islands such as Udot, Eot and Eten; the total of about 11,000 was an estimate. The same German source notes that the government had raised the standing of Chuukese chiefs and planned a government school for 1915.
