Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines how principles of European power wielded great influence in shaping the political landscape of the Pacific islands from the time of their discovery in the 18th century onwards. The author traces the impact of colonialism, from the early settlements of Protestant missionaries to the imposition of French and British rule. The book highlights the role of the missionaries in civilizing and converting the indigenous populations. It also discusses the conflicts that arose between the European powers as they sought to expand their influence in the region and to gain control of its resources. The author argues that this era of European dominance profoundly shaped the development of Pacific societies and cultures and had a lasting impact on the region.
