Makanaa Revolution was a small uprising that took place on the island of Makanaa in 1953. It lasted 15 days, falling as a result of military intervention and an internal peasant counterrevolution.
Background
During the Telamonian War of Independence, Pukapuka archipelago was annexed to the Telamon Islands. Much of the land on islands such as Pukapuka, Makanaaa and Lotoo was confiscated by the new government and distributed to peasants. Part of the noble elite of the Kalapaina Islands, who benefited from the Bloxian occupation, were not happy with the developments.
Course of the conflict
On May 2, 1953, nobleman Heima Akau and his right-wing militia entered Town Hall in Makalameka. Soon, Heima declared himself liberator of Kalapaina Islands, two hours after the mayor left the city. Several telegrams were sent to Pukapuka City requesting support and after three days, the army arrived. Seven platoons and three squads were sent there. One of them was commanded by Lanakila Ate, son of President Lanakila Mikala. Soon, the fight began.
Onewai Beach Ambush
On May 11, revolutionary platoon tried to ambush Telamonian platoon. The incompetence of the rebels showed up. The unit was quickly ambushed by Telamonian platoon commanded by Lanakila Huahi, Paame Iosoofa, and Lanakila Ate.
