Sumario:This text recounts the transition that Bioko political structure underwent upon entering into contact, first, with different African populations and, later, with the Spanish colonial government, at the end of the 19th century. The political process I analyze unfolded in a very short but very intense time: in just a few years, after numerous failed attempts, the transition from a decentralized government to a consolidated centralized chiefdom was made, culminating in the formation of a kingdom. This period ran parallel to the incipient advance of the colonization process and ended during this same reign with the death of the monarch.
