Guess the Location
Thank you for the suggestion, but it is not one I plan to implement, based on this reasoning.
The name “Tahiti” has never been properly applicable to all 121 islands and atolls that comprise the present-day overseas collectivity of French Polynesia, as shown in the following timeline of relevant events.
c. 1788 Independent Kingdom of Tahiti (one island) founded by King Pōmare I.
c. 1788-1791 Pōmare I unified the islands of Moʻorea, Teti‘aroa, and Mehetiʻa with Tahiti (Kingdom of Tahiti = 4 islands).
1791-1842 The kingdom annexed the Tūamotu Islands and the Austral Islands, bringing its total number of islands to 89.
1880 King Pōmare V of Tahiti ceded his kingdom to France as a colony, referred to colloquially as the Colony of Tahiti (although that was not an official name), but the colony still did not include all of what today constitutes French Polynesia.
1888 The independent Kingdom of Bora Bora (the island of Bora Bora + 5 island dependencies in the Leeward Islands) was annexed by France, as was the independent Kingdom of Raʻiātea (the islands of Raʻiātea and Tahaʻa, also in the Leewards).
1895 The island and independent Kingdom of Huahine was annexed by France.
1898 The remaining Leeward Islands (a portion of the Society Islands archipelago) were incorporated into the Colony of Tahiti.
1903 France consolidated all of its dependencies in eastern Polynesia as the Établissements français de l'Océanie, or EFO (English: French Establishments of Oceania, or simply French Oceania), resulting in a colony that included those Society Islands that were not part of the Colony of Tahiti, the Marquesas Islands and others. This marks the first official name of the complete set of islands included in present-day French Polynesia.
1957 The name of the overseas territory (since 1946, when it ceased to be called a colony) was changed to Polynésie française (French Polynesia).
