Fengāueʻaki
Hili ʻa e tau fakalotofonua ʻa ʻAmelika ʻi he taʻu 1860 tupú, naʻe tokanga ʻa e ngaahi pisinisi ne fakalele ʻi he fakahahake ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití ki he fakautuutu ʻo e māketi ʻi he Fakahihifó. Naʻe hohaʻa ʻa Pilikihami ʻIongi mo e kau taki kehe ʻo e Siasí naʻa pāʻusiʻi ʻe he ngaahi pangikeé mo e kau fefakatauʻakí ʻa e tuʻunga fakaʻekonōmika ʻo ʻIutaá, ʻaki ʻa hono uta mai ha ngaahi koloa hū mai, teke ki ʻolunga ʻa e ngaahi totongí pea fakatupu manavasiʻi ai ha kau pisinisi fakalotofonua.
Naʻe feinga ʻa Pilikihami ʻIongi ke fokotuʻu ʻa e tuʻunga fakaʻekonōmika ʻo ʻIutaá ʻo fakatefito ʻi he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e fakatapuí mo e tuʻunga fakatakimuʻá ʻa ia ne fakahā maí pea mo e fuakava ke fetauhiʻaki ʻa e Kāingalotú.1 Naʻá ne tui ʻe ʻomai ʻe he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení ha fakavaʻe fakaʻulungaanga ki he fakafetongi koloá mo e ngāué, pea naʻá ne tokanga ki he fekumi ki ha tupú he ʻoku faʻa iku ke tuʻumālie pē ai ha tokosiʻi. ʻI he tomuʻa ʻilo ko ia ʻe lahi ange ʻa e ngaahi pisinisi mei tuʻa ʻe haʻu ki he kolo fakalotofonuá koeʻuhí ko e lahi ange ʻa e halanga lēlué, naʻe tapou ai ʻa Pilikihami ki he Kāingalotú ʻi he taʻu 1865 ke fefakatauʻaki mo e kāingalotu pē ʻo e Siasí. Naʻá ne ʻamanaki ʻe fakapapauʻi heni ʻe tuʻu maʻu ai pē ʻa e tuʻunga fakaʻekonōmika fakalotofonua ʻa e Kāingalotú pea tali ʻa e ngaahi fiemaʻu vivili ʻa e masivá.
Ka neongo ia, naʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e fie maʻu ʻo e ngaahi koloa hū maí, pea naʻe tupulaki ʻa e ngaahi pisinisi ʻa e niʻihi taʻe-Siasí. ʻI he taʻu 1867, naʻe toe hoko atu ai ʻa e Akoʻanga ʻo e Kau Palōfitá ke fakakaukauʻi ha ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni fakaʻekonōmika foʻou.2 Naʻe faʻu ʻe he Akoʻangá ha palani: ʻe malava ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻo faʻu ha ngaahi aleapau fengāueʻaki ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e kau faʻu koloá mo e kau fakamāketí. Naʻa nau fakakaukau ʻe malava ʻe ha polokalama fengāueʻaki pehē ʻo maluʻi ʻa e tuʻunga fakaʻekonōmika fakalotofonuá mei hono ngāue taʻefakapotopoto ʻaki ʻe he kakai pisinisi mei tuʻá pea fakasiʻisiʻi ʻa e tō kehekehe ʻi he kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí.3
ʻI he taʻu 1868 ʻi Sōleki Siti, naʻe faʻu ʻe Pilikihami ʻIongi mo e kau pisinisi fakalotofonua kehé ʻa e Kautaha Fakamāketi Fetokoniʻaki ʻo Saioné (KFFS). Tānaki atu ki hono fakatau atu ʻo e valá mo e ngaahi koloa fakaeʻapí ki he Kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí, naʻe fakatau atu ʻe he falekoloá e ngaahi meʻa fetokoniʻaki kehe pea mo e ngaahi koloa fakatau lahi. Naʻe tupulaki e fengāueʻakí ʻo aʻu ki ha ngaahi falekoloa fakatau lahi mo ha ngaahi falekoloa iiki ʻe laungeau ʻi he ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí. Naʻe lāunga ʻa e kau pisinisí ʻi he fuofua ola lelei ʻa e ngaahi falekoloa fetokoniʻakí, ʻo pehē ʻoku pule fakaleveleva ʻa Pilikihami ʻIongi ʻi he fefakatauʻaki tauʻatāiná ʻo puleʻi ʻaki ʻa e tui fakalotú.4 Ka neongo ia, naʻe fie maʻu ʻe he ngaahi kolo Siasi ʻe niʻihi ke fakatokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fetokoniʻaki fakaʻekonōmika ʻoku toe lelei angé pea faʻu e “tuʻutuʻuni fakatahatahá” ʻi he taʻu 1870 tupú ʻo fakatefito ʻi he taumuʻa tahá, fua ʻo e ngāué, pea mo e mavahe mei he ngaahi māketi lalahi angé.5
Naʻe holo e fengāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi kautahá ʻi he 1870 tupú ʻi he ngaahi teke mei he lao fakafeʻātungiaʻi ʻo e mali tokolahí ʻi he taʻu 1880 tupú pea mo ha tō lalo fakaʻekonōmika ʻi he 1890 tupú.6 Neongo ia, naʻe tauhi ʻe he kau taki ʻo e Siasí e ngaahi kautaha fetokoniʻaki kimuʻá ko ha ngaahi kautaha pisinisi, tautefito ki he KFFS(ZCMI). Lolotonga e konga kimuʻa ʻo e senituli 20, naʻe hanga ʻe he polokalama tokangaekina ʻo e masivesivá ʻa ia naʻá ne teke e fengāueʻaki fakatahá ʻo ueʻi fakalaumālie ha polokalama uelofea ola lelei. Naʻe kei tokanga pē e Siasí ki he kautaha KFFS ʻo aʻu ki hono fakatau atu ki ha tafaʻaki kehe ʻo e falekoloá ʻi he taʻu 1999.
