A quick definition of trust territory:

A trust territory is a place that is governed by another country or organization for the benefit of its inhabitants. These territories were once administered by the United Nations or a member state to help with political, economic, educational, and social advancement. Some territories, like Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, are part of the United States but have their own separate legislature.

A more thorough explanation:

A trust territory is a geographical area that is governed by another country for the political, economic, educational, and social advancement of its inhabitants. This system was formerly applied by the United Nations to territories that were not self-governing.

For example, after World War II, the United States administered the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, which included several islands in the Pacific Ocean. The United States was responsible for the well-being of the inhabitants of these islands and worked to improve their living conditions.

Trust territories are different from territories that are part of a country but not included within any state. These territories, such as Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, have a separate legislature but are still part of the United States.

Overall, trust territories are territories that are governed by another country with the goal of improving the lives of the people who live there.
