Tonga signed a treaty with Britain in 1900 to establish a protectorate, which aimed to safeguard the islands from foreign interference and potential annexation by other powers. This agreement allowed Tonga to maintain its sovereignty while benefiting from British protection, particularly in military and diplomatic matters. The treaty also facilitated economic development through British investment and support. Ultimately, it reflected Tonga's desire for stability and security in a region marked by colonial rivalry.
