History of Fiji

Fiji is the product of volcanic mountains and warm tropical waters. Its majestic and ever-varied coral reefs today draw tourists from around the world, but were the nightmare of European mariners until well into the 19th century. European involvement and the cession to Britain was marked by the conversion to Christianity. Fiji became independent in 1970, after nearly a century as a British colony.

Climate in Fiji

Tropical marine; only slight seasonal temperature variation. Tropical cyclonic storms can occur from November to January.
