Sokehs rebellion
By Emelihter | Pohnpei/Poneke | 4 Jul 2024
In 1910 Pohnpeians from Sokehs Island led a rebellion against the Germans. They killed the German district administrator and 3 other Germans. The leaders of the rebellion, 15 men, were massacred and the rest of the Sokehs people were exiled to Palau. This was big news at the time across Europe and the Pacific.
