ANSWER: The history title 'The Samoan Civil War' came from a westren quick sumary that was not at all well informed on Samoan History. Samoan Entitlement before modern reforms included at times, challenges in battle between different ranks and so some in the west did at one point interpret that as a 'Civil War'. The eras of Samoan entitlement were very much similar to a European Feudal system where noble ranks held the influence and supported a Crown hierarchy or even a High-King rank. The Samoan entitlement system works differently in many ways, one way being that all with a Samoan Heritage (bloodline) had the ability to earn title and rank not just a limited few families like in the west. All Samoans are born with one title (Sa'Moa) the sacred people, giving all Samoans a noble like status within Polynesia, many times seen as the founders of the Polynesian Triangle.
