 | | The population of the island of BANABA (Gilbert Islands), which suffered severe destruction during the war, was evacuated to Fiji, where they still live as another ethnic minority. |
 | | During World War II, Fiji's Indian community, still dissatisfied with the low prices offered for their sugarcane and discriminations Indians were exposed to, resented to join the British war effort. |
