During the following fifte^i years the partition of the continent was completed by a series of special agreements among the various powers concerned. Meanwhile there was equal activity in the other available regions. The French possessions in Cochin China were extended into a protectorate over the whole of Annam and Tonquin, which was not established without a good deal of trouble- some fighting. The Germans were busy planting and fostering their influence in the Turkish Empire, and annexing th...e north-eastern part of Nqw Guinea and the neighbouring Bismarck Archipelago, together with the scattered archi- pelagoes of tiny islands further north. Britain, under pressure from AustraUa and New Zealand, took her share in the Pacific, where hitherto she had possessed almost a monopoly of influence, and added to her numerous existing possessions, among others, the valuable Fiji group, which she had more than once, at an earUer date, refused to take under her protection. Even the United States joined in the Pacific competition, annexing Hawaii in 1898, and dividing the Samoan group with Germany in 1899.
