Capture of Truk: Difference between revisions

==Aftermath==

Emir Mahmud Tidore lived only for another two years, upon which time [[Daxia]] made good on their arrangement with him and took possession of the archipelago. While for the first fifty years the governors were all Daxians, eventually local muslim notables began to be chosen for the position. Truk was afterwards given wide latitude to take care of its internal affairs, freedom not seen elsewhere in the empire. This autonomy continues in the modern day as the Truk archipelago has maintained a high degree of autonomy and is even ruled by a distinct local party. There was moderate settlement of Daxians in the following centuries, especially in coastal areas and around military strongpoints. The moderate intermixing of locals with Daxians can be seen today with people of mostly polynesian descent but also possessing distinctly Daxian epicanthus folds.
