Answer:

The Polynesians and Lapita didn't managed to create an empire because of the vast expense of the ocean.

Explanation:

The Polynesians and the Lapita managed to spread out and dominate one of the largest areas in the world. The things is that the majority of that area is ocean, with islands sparsely distributed across it. While these two groups of people managed to go to great distances and settle in, the creation of empire was not really possible. The main reason as to why an empire was not created was the vast expense of the ocean.

  • The ocean represented a big obstacle for creation of an empire, as an empire requires a strong centralized power, but the ocean didn't enabled that.
  • The communication between the islands was difficult, as in general they are very far away from each other, so instead of an empire, small isolated nations were formed.
  • A large empire also needs lot of resources, and with the majority of the islands being relatively poor in resources, a strong economy would have not been able to develop.
