User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yes...

When Europe is on Standard Time, Tonga (UTC+13) is 13 hours ahead of England (UTC/UTC+1).

When Europe is on Summer Time, Tonga is 12 hours ahead of England.

In Europe, Summer Time begins on the last Sunday of March and ends on the last Sunday of October.

So when it's 11 PM TOT in Tonga, the time in England is either 10 AM GMT (during Standard Time) or 11 AM BST (during Summer Time).

Did Samoa rule Tonga?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Although it is not certain of the era or time, Tongans have ruled Samoa at one point. Before Tonga was established as the monarchy "The Kingdom of Tonga," or what is now a Constitutional Monarchy, with a prime minister- it was similar to the colonies that comprised the first U.S. (Vava'u, Ha'apai, Tongatapu and etc. had their own ruler.) It is not known which Tongan dynasty it was that ruled. To identify this is very important because until the current reigning dynasty (Tupou 1), Tonga was not The Kingdom of Tonga. It was still consisted of colonies.

Individual Tongans and individual Samoans have had a lot of discontent towards each other because of the past where Tonga once ruled Samoa, and the claims that Samoans were former slaves of Tonga. There has been much heated competition, in the modern age, involving Tonga and Samoa in Rugby. One of the best Rugby players of all time is Jonah Lomu, of Tongan descent. But there has not been much representation of Tonga since then. Samoa, on the other hand, has played very well in 2010, winning the Sevens Cup in Las Vegas and moved on to take the Japan cup as well.

Tongans and Samoans are very beautiful people and it is a shame that there is ethnic rivalry. But it is wonderful to know that there are Tongans and Samoans who have enough respect for each other and themselves to get along with one another.

Who did Tonga gain its independence from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Friendly Islands were never colonized and are the only Polynesian Nation to have maintained an independent hereditary Monarchy for all of its known history. Britain provided a strong influence and protection against colonial threat from Germany by naming it a protected state in 1900.

This is all because Tonga had a very smart king back then. and only focused on the island not on the influence of the British
