Fiji is a collection of almost 800 islands in the Pacific Ocean, out of which only ten are inhabited. Fiji became a British colony in 1874. It had only its native population till the British established many sugar plantations in the nineteenth century. More people were needed to work in the plantations. To solve this crisis, workers were brought from India who later settled there.
Fiji gained independence in 1974. The country was racially divided between the native Fijians and the Indians. They waged political wars. Fijians came up with a constitution in 1990 that assured political power to the natives. However, they still had clashes; they had civilian and military rule subsequently. Fiji now follows the constitution charted in 2013. Today, Fiji is a popular tourist destination.
