Annexation Of The Leeward Islands
The annexation of the Leeward Islands (french: Annexion des îles Sous-le-vent, link=no) or the Leewards War (french: Guerre des îles Sous-le-vent, link=no) was a series of diplomatic and armed conflicts between the French Third Republic and the native kingdoms of Raiatea-Tahaa, Huahine and Bora Bora, which resulted in the conquest of the Leeward Islands, in the South Pacific archipelago of the Society Islands in modern-day French Polynesia. This conflict was the last phase of armed indigenous resistance against French rule in the Society Islands, which began in 1843 with the forcible imposition of a protectorate over the Kingdom of Tahiti in the Franco-Tahitian War.

Continual instability in the native regimes and the growing threat of the nascent German colonial empire in the Pacific prompted France ...
