Cakobau succeeded his father, [[Tanoa Visawaqa|''Ratu'' Tanoa Visawaqa]], as the [[Vunivalu of Bau|Vunivalu]] (Paramount Chief) of [[Bau Island|Bau]] on [[8 December]] [[1852]]. Claiming that Bau had [[suzerainty]] over the remainder of Fiji, he asserted that he was in fact the King of Fiji. However, Cakobau's claim was not accepted by other chiefs, who regarded him as merely [[Primus inter pares|the first among equals]], if that, and he engaged in constant warfare for almost nineteen years to unify the islands under his authority. In [[1865]], a [[Confederacy of Independent Kingdoms of Viti]] was established, with Cakobau as Chairman of the General Assembly. Two years later, however, the confederacy split into the [[Kingdom of Bau]] and the [[Confederation of Lau]], with Cakobau assuming [[Tui Bau|kingship]] of the former. Supported by foreign settlers, he finally succeeded in creating a united Fijian kingdom in [[1871]], and established [[Levuka]] as his capital. He decided to set up a [[constitutional monarchy]], and the first legislative assembly met in November of that year. Both the legislature and the [[Cabinet (Fiji)|Cabinet]] were dominated by foreigners.
