Wilhelm Solf was a German Governor of Samoa in the early 20th century. He deposed several native chiefs, including Mamoe , who was an early figure in the Mau movement. As well as deposing members of the Maloa o Samoa ( Samoan council of chiefs), Solf called in two German warships as a show of strength. Faced with this demonstration of military force, and with the movement divided, Mamoe surrendered, and resistance faded until the 1910s.
