Merry Christmas from Christmas Island, Kiribati! I'm not Marshallese, but the islands are nearby.
Other countries have done terrible things to the atolls here as well. Everywhere untouched by WW2 got bombed anyway, especially by France and Britain.
The UK detonated weapons above Kiritimati in the 1950s without evacuating it. Most locals have moved here since, and although some know about the testing, they have no idea about the risks they're exposed to.
