Colonial control in the Pacific

Choose year:

  • 1901

  • 1951

  • 2001

Colonial relationships between Pacific Island communities and European nations are shown here as they were in 1901, 1951 and 2001. These relationships have been fundamental to New Zealand's interactions in the Pacific. The strongest ties have been with islands that were either colonised by the United Kingdom or had major links to it.
