Before the arrival of Christianity in the 19th century, Tonga was not unified as a single political entity; it was composed of various chiefdoms and islands with their own local rulers. However, there were significant social and political structures in place, with powerful chiefs who held sway over their respective territories. The introduction of Christianity played a crucial role in unifying these disparate groups under a more centralized leadership, particularly under King George Tupou I, who established a unified Tongan kingdom.
