This Wiki article, "Operation Ry" states, "The phosphate deposits were mined for making fertilisers, ammunition and explosives." I suppose one could convert phosphates to nitrogen using the Nitrophosphate process, aka the Odda process (thanks to my friend, Axe99 for pointing that out). But I've had trouble finding documentation that Nauru's phosphates were used to make explosives. 2600:6C51:7B7F:5344:4D9D:873C:3B1E:BBF4 (talk) 16:27, 25 February 2023 (UTC) Billcorr (talk) 16:28, 25 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
A Time magazine article describing the German raider attack says: "None of Nauru's 3,400 inhabitants (194 Europeans) was hurt, but warehouses and platforms loaded with Nauru's main product—guano (seabird droppings) for explosives and fertilizer—were thoroughly shot up."[1] It doesn't mean it's correct, but WP:TRUTH.
