How did German rule affect armed conflict on Naoero?

Prior to German intervention, Naoero experienced intense intraisland warfare, which was exacerbated by the introduction of firearms and alcohol by European beachcombers in the 19th century.1

In late 1888, Germany incorporated the island into its Marshall Islands protectorate, largely at the urging of German traders seeking to protect their interests. The establishment of this German administration, coupled with the subsequent arrival of missionaries, successfully brought an end to the ongoing armed hostilities on the island.1
