Detailed explanation-2: -By 1994, all Trust Territories had attained self-government or independence, either as separate States or by joining neighbouring independent countries.

Detailed explanation-3: -The trusteeship system, like the mandate system, was established on the premise that colonial territories taken from countries defeated in war should not be annexed by the victorious powers but should be administered by a trust country under international supervision until their future status was determined.
