History[]
Early History[]
Visited by the Dutch in the early 18th century, the islands were divided administratively in 1899 into American Samoa in the east and German Samoa in the west. After World War I, the nine western islands were mandated to New Zealand and became an independent republic known as Western Samoa within the Commonwealth of Nations in 1963. The country became known as Samoa in 1997.
Luke Hobbs' Childhood[]
Luke Hobbs was one of many boys born to an unnamed father and Sefina Hobbs in Samoa. Hobbs' father was a criminal who pulled many heists, and was absent in his children's lives. However, he returned to recruit his sons once they reached adolescence to recruit them into his crew, although he showed no familial love or respect for his sons when some of them were killed during heists. This prompted Luke to turn his father in to the authorities to protect his remaining brothers and he fled Samoa and relocated to the United States of America, with his sister following later, which prompted his brothers to hate him. Some time after, Jonah began using his mechanic skills to establish a legitimate automotive custom shop, called Hobbs Customs with his brothers.[1]

Hattie and Deckard Shaw in Samoa
Hattie Shaw and Deckard Shaw joined Luke in flying to Samoa in order to enlist the aid of Jonah, who was capable of repairing the virus extracting machine. However, Hobbs was not welcomed back home, prompting Hobbs to implore to his family that they needed to put their past behind them since Eteon was capable of killing half of the planet's population.

The Hobbs family
After being goaded by the Hobbs matriarch, Sefina, the Hobbs family began to aid the Shaws, and the group spent all day creating a kill-box and planting holes and explosives for their upcoming foes. As Sefina had sold the family's firearms, the group armed themselves with traditional Samoan weapons.[1]
Battle of Samoa[]
Luke Hobbs participates in the Battle of Samoa
As Brixton Lore and the Eteon soldiers approached the Hobbs residence, Luke gave a Samoan war cry along with his brothers, triggering the Battle of Samoa. Since the extraction process took thirty minutes, Hattie sat out most of the battle, although she was forced to join when she was attacked by Eteon soldiers. While she succeeded in disarming a number of the soldiers, she was soon apprehended by Brixton, who kidnapped her and brought her to his helicopter, forcing Deckard, Hobbs, and his brothers to attach their trucks to the helicopter to prevent it from taking off, causing it to crash. The Samoan warriors managed to force the remaining Eteon soldiers into surrendering, garnering them a victory.[1] Sometime afterwards, Luke brought his daughter Samantha to Samoa to meet her Samoan relatives for the first time.
