Second Battle of Apia

The Second Battle of Apia was the final engagement of the Second Samoan Civil War, and possibly fought as an attempted act of defiance by the Samoan rebels after being given an ultimatum that would have denied them access to Apai.

Battle

After the third battle of Vailele, the Allies declared that so long as the Mataafans stay out of Apia, they would not take action against them. The following month, on April 25, the Mataafans attacked an American marine patrol outside of Apia, but the rebels were driven off.[1][2]
