Abstract

BY THE MIDDLE of the nineteenth century, France had secured the bulk of her present possessions in Melanesia and Polynesia. The events leading up to the Tahitian Protectorate of 1842, the annexation of the Marquesas Islands and the annexation of New Caledonia in 1853 have been adequately analyzed by historians of the Pacific; and some attention has been paid to the fear of further French expansion which helped determine the attitude of the Australian Colonies and New Zealand
