Tonga and Fiji Near Independence From Britain
Two South Pacific monarchies move toward UN membership as Tonga and Fiji push for independence in 1970. Tonga under King Taufaahau Tupou IV, a constitutional monarchy, mixes church and state, while Fiji faces racial tensions as Indian and Fijian communities adjust to a post colonial economy. British influence lingers through loans and governance, with tourism rising as a new income source.
