The statement "foreigners living in foreign lands to this day expect their home governments to defend their points of view" relates closely to the historical events described in the Visit of L'Artemise in Hawaii.Foreigners in Hawaii, especially French Catholics, expected their home government to protect their rights and beliefs. This expectation prompted France to send the warship L'Artemise to Hawaii, demanding religious freedom and respect for French citizens. The show of military power pressured the Hawaiian king to accept these demands, illustrating how foreign governments used force or threats to defend their nationals' interests abroad and influence local affairs.
