With the average height above ocean level of 2.1 m ( 7 feet), Marshall Islands is one of the fattest nations on the planet. Even though this nation involves around 1150 islands and islets, the aggregate land zone is just 180 sq km (70 sq mi) with the number of inhabitants in 72,000. The Republic of Marshall Islands is situated in the Pacific Ocean close to the equator. Amid the World War II before the assault on Pearl Harbor, the nation was the authoritative focus of the sixth Fleet of Japanese Imperial Navy. Following occupation by the United States amid World War II, Marshall Islands passed formally to the US in 1947. Lamentably, the US-led atomic testing there. Accordingly, they were presenting neighbourhood inhabitants to the radioactive aftermath and entirely wrecked the island of Elugelab. Just in 1979, the nation picked up its freedom from the US.
