1886–1894 conflict in the Samoan Islands
The turbulent decades of the late 19th century saw several conflicts between rival Samoan factions in the Samoan Islands of the South Pacific. The political struggle lasted roughly between 1886 and 1894, primarily between Samoans contesting whether Malietoa Laupepa, Mataʻafa Iosefo or a member of the Tupua Tamasese dynasty would be King of Samoa.
