  Seru Epenisa Cakobau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ratu Seru Epenisa Cakobau (1815-1883) was a Fijian chief and warlord who united his country's warring tribes under his leadership and reigned as Tui Viti (King of Fiji) from 5 June 1871 to 10 October 1874, when he ceded his country to Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.
However, Cakobau's claim was not accepted by other chiefs, who regarded him as merely the first among equals, if that, and he engaged in constant warfare for almost nineteen years to unify the islands under his authority.
Cakobau, a former cannibal, had himself converted to Christianity and renounced cannibalism in 1854.

One Ratu (chief), Seru Epenisa Cakobau, gained limited control over the western islands by the 1850s, but it was not until June 1871 that he was able to unify all the tribes of Fiji under his authority, when he established his government at Levuka.
Continuing unrest, however, led Cakobau and a convention of chiefs to cede Fiji unconditionally to the United Kingdom in October 1874, and a colonial Governor was appointed to maintain law and order.
Nevertheless, a partly elected Legislative Council was established in 1954, with Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna, a war hero, noted scholar, and contender for the vacant Cakobau throne, as its first List of Speakers of the House of Representatives.

Ratu Seru Epenisa Cakobau had offered to cede the islands, subject to being allowed to retain his ''Tui Viti'' (King of Fiji) title, a condition unacceptable to both the British and to many of his fellow chiefs, who regarded him only as first among equals, if that.
Mounting debts and threats from the United States Navy had led Cakobau to establish a constitutional monarchy with a government dominated by European settlers in 1871, following an agreement with the Australian Polynesia Company to pay his debts.
The collapse of the new regime drove him to make another offer of cession in 1872, which the British accepted.
