The Mau movement has also been known in American Sāmoa by several other names, including The Committee of Samoan Chiefs, The Samoan Movement, The Samoan Cause, The Samoan League, and The Committee of the Samoan League. After revelations surfaced that U.S. officials had misappropriated public funds, prominent Samoan figures — supported by those who opposed the U.S. Navy's influence — mounted the widespread protest known as the Mau movement. They initiated a boycott of copra, a critical revenue source, effectively crippling the U.S. naval administration. In 1920, copra production dropped to half its 1919 level — a decline attributed to the boycott, whic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
