Tonga became a British protected state under the Treaty of Friendship on 18 May 1900 to discourage German advances. The protected status ended on 4 June 1970 and Tonga joined the Commonwealth of Nations. Tonga has never lost indigenous governance, making it unique in the Pacific. <ref>Wikipedia contributors, "History of Tonga," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Tonga#Kingdom_of_Tonga_(1900%E2%80%9370), accessed 9 November 2020.</ref> | |||
