The Polynesian Triangle is a major tropic region in the Asia Pacific, neighboring Melanesia and Micronesia. The area extends across 16 Million square miles equal to 6 sub-Australian continents, and is the largest region settled by a single ethnic group in the world.
The Malayo-Austronesian settlements in Micronesia have been considered unofficially apart of Polynesia, which would profoundly, if fully measured properly, would increase the square miles settled, who share the same genetic and cultural aspects with interacting navigational histories. Micronesia is still separated politically by early western racial studies. The Polynesian region is theorized to have been colonized during in the late Holocene era, within the last ice-age 10,000 years ago, with more expanding waves within 5-7,000 years. The 3,000 year estimated age remains a number associated with religious academic studies.
The Southeast Asia Pacific Ancient Past
In 4000 BC, a worldwide intercontinental Austronesian Spice Trade from Southeast Asia to Indonesia, reached as far as Northeast Africa Egypt and Malayo-Polynesians settled "Madagascar" by Southeast Africa, mostly trading with Indus-Asian states in India. By 3000 BC, Southeast Asia Pacific with East Asian settlements had founded regimes on the East Asian coasts using it's rivers connected to the ocean as the first major settlements. According to Chinese history, those first regions developed into the 10 founding empires who created later a United Imperial China. Since 2000 BC, Imperial Chinese Dynasty traded as far as the west, Central Asia, India, and Indo-Arabian States.
It wasn't until the 1500s AD, almost 6000 years later, when the first Eurasian Spanish, under the command of Magellan, touched water in the Pacific, looking for "The Spice Islands". The Spanish were exploring the sources of Arabic Muslim imports, where independent Arabic shipping sailed to buy goods and retail to early Rome. The sugar trade had been by far the richest spice export in the world, and since the founding of a confederated Persia, sugar was indigenously manufactured in East and Southeast Asia, sailed through the Indo-Arabian 7 seas.
The new Catholic Spanish nation competed in favor against their Arabic Muslim shipping competitors, who were also their foremost political enemies. In the 1600-1700s, newly formed Dutch Christian nations, fresh from a rebellion against European Catholic states, sought trade sources with Southeast and East Asian Empires to advance against all oppressive western regimes. The Dutch were the first Germanic-men to reach the ancient Samoa islands and Aotearoa New Zealand.
The Central islands of Ancient Samoa
The Islands of Samoa, who have an ancestral and administrative link with most Pacific islands, are the central high point inside the Polynesian Triangle. The largest islands of Samoa are Savaii, Manono, and Upolu, referred by Samoans as Western Samoa.
