So basically he was trying to unite Fiji as a kingdom, but couldn't do so because certain tribes wanted to keep their autonomy. Imagine if Fiji united as one. Would've never happened without rugby lol

[@francois9747]

@YLKVT.679 Well that's the thing, in order to unite Fiji, he has to unite them under his rule and power. With Tonga, United States, and Britain right at our doorsteps, we couldn't unite because so many villages and tribes had too much ego, thinking that the world revolves around their tiny villages because that's really all they know. If we had put aside our differences and united, we could've easily nullified Ma'afu's influence and make US and Britain take us more seriously. Tonga was able to unite, and they were taking advantage of the conflicts between Fijians in order to fulfill Ma'afu's interests. But because Fijians were fighting each other, it was easier for the Tongans to take control village by village, island by island. Unfortunately Cakobau had no choice because of the incompetence of the cannibal tribes and rivalry of opposing factions and clans so he ceded Fiji to britain.
