Britain gained control of Fiji in 1874, establishing it as a colony that provided strategic advantages in the Pacific. The British sought to exploit Fiji's resources, particularly its sugar and copra industries, and to enhance trade routes. Additionally, Fiji served as a base for British naval operations in the region. The colonization also led to significant cultural and social changes, impacting indigenous Fijian society.
