Great video. You really do deserve more subscribers for the amount of effort you put into your videos

Hey, just came across your channel and - as a fellow much smaller KZfaqr 😅 - really appreciate the work you put into your videos + subscribed! Your video actually reminded me of "Lost Kingdom: Hawaii's Last Queen, the Sugar Kings, and America's First Imperial Venture" by Julia Flynn Siler, which really is great book on the matter.

As usual, fantastically done. Not surprised Dole was involved!

You definitely deserve more subscribers man, great video!

love how you mentioned the insanely large desire for america to have a naval base and japenese influence

Ur video is very very enlightening the history of Hawaii n its People which I was not aware of its history rich in culture .

Great video as always!

It’s quite interesting how usually business interests kind of dominated American expansionism/interventions in some areas, like how America had a raid on Taiwan before it was cool in the 1860s or 70s because one of their merchant ships was destroyed. Or how they bombarded the falklands over arresting American whalers, the banana wars etc. etc. I used to think history of America was boring in some ways, even though I was an American, but I never really looked past the surface details until a few years ago and discovered the interesting events and practices that still define how my country operates.

interesting how history matters made a video the day after you did, it seems like you are the smaller version of his channel

Love my Hawaiian brothers and sisters!

this is especially interesting since i spent 5 months there

Yes good

Kamehameha the great? İ think ve found master roshi’s island.

It's only ok if America does it.

King Kamehameha .....niceeee😂😂

@Look Back History. Hawai'i was never "officially Annexed" it was, according to the International court at the Hague, illegally annexed and occupied by the USA; there was no signed treaty of annexation between the two recognized independent states. Look Back at the TRUTH and FACTS of History.

Kamehame HA! 0:35 - While his legacy ended; his name will forever live on in our generation in Dragon Ball XD

As you soon as you said Americans and Europeans, we all knew those poor people were screwed and their fun lives ruined.

How to take over an archipelago (American style): 1) Weaken and destroy them in a war 2) Invest heavily in a huge economic boom and a dependency 3) In a crisis, revoke that investment, and watch their population collapse 4) To account for population loss, Americans move in and eventually outnumber the natives 5) Coup the government Wait, I thought we were talking about Japan

Out of a total population of 600,000 in the islands and 155,000 registered voters, 140,000 votes were cast, the highest turnout ever in Hawaii. The vote showed approval rates of at least 93% by voters on all major islands. Of the approximately 140,000 votes cast, fewer than 8,000 rejected the Admission Act of 1959.

TIL Vermont was independent

It was illegally annexed. The queen of Hawaii never submitted to the USA Inc.

Sad

No KZfaqr that i know make this Video.Thank's🥰

applicant 🔁 applicant

It was an unlawful annexation through kidnapping and coercion. To sum it up. None of the requirements of annexation were met.

4:55 once a territory is given statehood it will be American as long as American exist... you can't leave the union without war.

It's okay though... they've changed their ways! People who are in charge of America are and always have been... pure angels to be trusted with every word! 😊

❤❤ 1830. Paniolo : Mexico California Los Vaqueros (cowboys) they taught Hawaiians how to ranch 50 years before texas. Mexico alllowed Texans into Mexico but they brought slaves and Mexico said no. The confederacy tried to expand slavery to Mexico. Remember the Alamo.

If you've been James, who are you now?

You forgot to explain exactly how did the US Annex Hawaii though! US Congress did not pass the Treaty of Annexation, 3 times. Yes 3 times the Treaty of Annexation failed by the US Congress including President Cleveland. So without a Treaty, how did the US Annex Hawaii?

It's part of the US Interstate system. How else could it not be American.

The Hawaiian Kingdom was never officially annexed. The Joint Resolution of annexation of the Hawaiian Islands in 1898 was a domestic US passed law, which by definition means it has no power in foreign territory (think: what if the US passed a law in the US that said that French citizens in France are American). Under international law, a country can only acquire foreign territory via a treaty, of which there is none between the U.S. and the Hawaiian Kingdom. The Hawaiian Kingdom remains a sovereign country that is being belligerently occupied by the U.S. Therefore, Hawaii is not a part of the US. Nor was it ever.

...says a Brit

The natives had a similar fate that the native americans. Became a minority in their own land, but it was worse for the native americans, who faced extermination and displacement to reservations.

As popular as Dwayne Johnson (who is Half Samoan by the way) and Jason Mamoa are: Why haven't they announced the creation of projects featuring this notorious part of Hawaii's history? The same should lead to the TRAGIC EVENT of January 17, 1893 should be applied to the TV Shows featuring: Both "HAWAII FIVE Os" "MAGNUM PIs" and "HAWAII N.C.I.S" WHAT'S THE ISSUE?

If Hawaii was a kingdom again the last Hawaiian cowboy should be kin

It was no annexed it was INVADED AND CONQUERED

Damn America did them dirty

Puerto Rico you're next get ready to have your culture be a minority in your own land if you become a state.

For english speakers who cant pronounce the queens name just call her by her english name Lydia

Unfortunately, this video lied. Hawaii had a cote on statehood of which over 80% of its native piulation voted foe it.

Annexation can be really beneficial. The US dis the smart thing here. However if it was to be repeated it would need to be done differently because of rightful laws we have to follow

1) Wealthy Hawaiians and the monarchy were very complacent and allowed all of this to happen. Robert Wilcox tried to get Kalakaua to man up and stand for Hawaii, but didn't... Robert Wilcox is a true revolutionary, and he's the one locals should be waving flags for 2) Hawaii aint gonna be sovereign.... 80% of the people here are Asian/ mixed Asian, and their ancestors came here a century ago and worked their tails off while the Hawaiians laid around and watched it happen... You snooze , you lose. But, hey, people love a good " F the man" narrative, so, heres another victimization story for the masses..

This presentation is woefully lacking in factual information. Hawai’i was not “Annexed” in any lawful, Constitutional manner which REQUIRES a Treaty b/w the two nations wherein there is the consent of the people (the people formally petitioned the US Govt with a 90+% resounding “No” to Annexation); and a 2/3 vote of the SENATE-only (the House is proscribed by the Constitution from involvement with Treaties which is the sole domain and authority vested in the President w/ consent of 2/3 of the Senate). Regardless, the US wrongfully, illegally, and unconstitutionally acted and took Hawai’i with a simple majority vote of the combined Senate and House by a “Joint Resilution” which DOES NOT have legal authority outside of the borders of the U.S. The action was 100% fatally illegal; all that ensued therefrom, incl “Statehood” is null and void. To learn more, please avail yourself to “Hawaiian Kingdom Academia” on YT and watch its featured vid. / A caption came up in the comment section that noted to the effect that ‘comments & debates are welcomed,’ *but misinformation is not welcomed* - since this presentation itself is actually misinformation, what will happen to my comment since it runs contrary to the misinformation this vid represents. “Misinformation” strictures is an excellent way to suppress debate and comments of disagreement - it has the ring of velvet gloved impulses of a tyrannical view. / I will watch what happens to my post (containing 100% incontrovertible, factual information) with keen interest.

Kamekameha conquered the natives and took control of Hawaii The USA did the same So neither had the right to the islands so stop crying about being in this situation Native is relative to when it began

RUSSIA also had a FORT on KAUAI. Who would you rather have?! The Kingdom did NOT have the UNITY, SUPPORT orr FINANCES to DEFEND itself in the MODERN WORLD. Better the USA than RUSSIA ANY DAY!

Kalakaua had engaged in Hawaiian imperial adventures in Samoa, and was threatened with War by the Empire of Germany. A German takeover would have been a disaster for non-German businessman, so thoughtful American-Hawaiian people acted.

Illegally annexed & occupied.

Hawaii would have never made it being Independent. Japan, China, Russia, etc, someone would have taken it easily. Lived in Hawaii for 3 years from 2010-13. Should've never left.

Brought natives into modern world
