Correct answer: By becoming a protected state under a treaty

Tonga is unique in the Pacific because it was never formally colonized. Instead, it became a British protected state in 1900 under a Treaty of Friendship. This arrangement allowed Tonga to retain its monarchy and complete control over its domestic affairs until full independence was recognized in 1970. Photo: Admiralty.
