History
The Solokola islands were colonized by the Hawaiians in around 1200 A.D. Over time, the settlers formed a tribal kingdom and developed the Solokolu culture, which was very similar to the culture of Hawaiʻi island's inhabitants. These colonists formed a tribal kingdom that expanded to encompass the entire Tuomotu Archipelago until the French conquered the area in 1842. From 1845 to 1899, the locals revolted against the French and eventually declared independence as a nation. The conflict reached its height in both intensity and global popularity in 1852, during which time at least 4,000 French soldiers and Solokolu warriors died fighting. Using captured French warships, the Solokolu also carried out piracy on French naval forces passing by the area. A tribe outside of Solokola's territory attacked the kingdom in 1900, prompting Solokolu diplomats to request American support. 250 American soldiers were sent to the islands to help pacify the invaders, after which point Solokola made a trade deal with the United States. A U.S Navy dock was also built in eastern Solokola. The Solokolu spent the rest of the 20th century developing an industrialized capitalist society. In 1968, a communist movement supported by Cuba arose in Solokola, in which 46% of the population revolted against the kingdom. The United States deployed 1,400 soldiers to combat the insurgents though were withdrawn two years later in 1970. The communists gained control of Heay Aiyon in 1972 and established the Peoples' Republic of Solokola, which governed the nation for five years. In 1978, the Americans sent forty Martin B-57 Canberra bombers to carry out an air raid on the capital city, which lasted three days and resulted in at least 200 deaths. The president of communist Solokola was killed in the raid, and a subsequent attack by a royalist militia resulted in the restoration of the Kingdom of Solokola. Communism quickly phased out of public popularity after 581 communist sympathizers were imprisoned and 114 exiled by the royalist government. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan demanded the King of Solokola to release the political prisoners, which caused tension between the two nations. In March 1982, the prisoners were released after months of debating between Solokolu and American diplomats. In 1995, Heay Aiyon suffered a terrorist attack which involved five bomb attacks and was thought to have been carried out by communists. Thirty arrests were made in connection to the attacks by the Solokolu Royal Guard. A communist movement continues to thrive in Solokola, though mostly in the form of peaceful protests.
