*From 1839 onwards, '''Roman Catholic and Protestant missionaries''' arrived on the islands. The Anglican Melanesian Mission also '''took promising young converts for further training in New Zealand and Norfolk Island'''. '''Presbyterian missionaries'''' proved particularly successful on Aneityum, though less so on Tanna, with missionaries being repeatedly chased off the island by locals throughout the 1840s–60s. The hostile response may have been partly to blame with the waves of illnesses and deaths the missionaries inadvertently brought with them. | *From 1839 onwards, '''Roman Catholic and Protestant missionaries''' arrived on the islands.

*Other European settlers also came, '''looking for land for cotton plantations'''. When international cotton prices collapsed after the ending of the American Civil War, they '''switched to coffee, cocoa, bananas, and, most successfully, coconuts'''. Initially '''British subjects from Australia''' made up the majority of settlers, however with little support from the British government they frequently struggled to make a success of their settlements. | *Other European settlers also came, '''looking for land for cotton plantations'''.

*'''French planters''' also began arriving in 1880, and later in larger numbers following the creation of the Compagnie Caledonienne des Nouvelles-Hébrides (CCNH) in 1882 , which soon tipped the balance in favor of French subjects. The French government took over the CCNH in 1894 and actively encouraged French settlement. By 1906 French settlers (at 401) outnumbered the British (228) almost two to one.<ref name="vanuatu">"Vanuatu", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanuatu, accessed 20 Juy 2021.</ref> | *'''French planters''' also began arriving in 1880, and later in larger numbers following the creation of the Compagnie Caledonienne des Nouvelles-Hébrides (CCNH) in 1882 , which soon tipped the balance in favor of French subjects.

*During the 1920s–30s, indentured workers from Vietnam (then part of French Indochina) came to work in the plantations in the New Hebrides. By 1929 there were some 6,000 Vietnamese people in the New Hebrides. Most Vietnamese were repatriated in 1946 and 1963, though a small Vietnamese community remains in Vanuatu today.<ref name="vanuatu">"Vanuatu", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanuatu, accessed 20 Juy 2021.</ref> | |||
