Tahiti, King Pōmare V abdicated on 29 June 1880 and the Tahitian kingdom was annexed to France.
King Pōmare V gave Tahiti and its dependencies to France, whereupon he was given a pension by French government and the titular position of Officer of the Orders of the Legion of Honour and Agricultural Merit of France.
He died from alcoholism at the Royal Palace, Pape'ete, and is buried at the Tomb of the King, Utu'ai'ai in 'Arue.
