Europeans began coming to Fiji during the 17th century. Fiji claimed independence as a kingdom for a short period (1871-1874) before becoming a British colony in 1874. It was a crown colony of England until it gained independence in 1970.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Fiji," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiji, accessed 17 March 2020.</ref> | |||
