Copra plantations in New Guinea

Copra Plantations in New Guinea have been cultivated since the late 19th century. Originally established by German colonialists, they were superseded by Australian interests following World War II.
==Early colonialists==

In 1884, German settlers arrived in eastern New Guinea (now Papua New Guinea), and planted Coconut palms (''Cocos nucifera'') for the production of copra, the dried flesh of the coconut. They established the colony of German New Guinea in the north eastern quarter of the island and numerous coconut plantations around coastal areas. They were afraid of venturing too far inland. To counter the growing German presence in the region, the Australian state of Queensland established the Territory of Papua as a ''de facto'' possession covering approximately the south east third of the island.〔 Both the Queensland and German plantations thrived, providing opulent living conditions for the expatriates. Grand mansions were built on the plantations, complete with luxury furnishings.〔 Much of the labour was performed by New Guinea natives. The towns of Port Moresby and Rabaul were founded as a result of the economic activity surrounding the plantations.〔
In 1914, Australia sent a small military force to capture the towns of Kokopo and Rabaul. Two Germans were killed in the process, while the remaining German plantation owners were initially sent back to work on their plantations.〔 The 1919 Treaty of Versailles saw Germany lose all its overseas colonies, including German New Guinea.〔 It became the Territory of New Guinea, a League of Nations Mandate Territory under Australian administration.
