Why is Hawaii a Part of the United States?
In 1959, the United States of America gained its 50th member. Hawaii, which had been a territory of the U.S. since 1898, earned its place as the final star on the Stars and Stripes; becoming the beloved vacation spot and island paradise we now know today. Hawaii’s image is associated with a beauty of culture and experiences, ranging from luaus to hula dancing to volcanoes and Pearl Harbor - but much of the territory’s original history and culture is now unknown to the American masses. And that has a lot to do with how the U.S. acquired Hawaii…

That's not a justification for the illegal overthrow of a sovereign nation. The local businessmen overthrow the Queen, put her under house arrest and when the locals figured out that US govt was NOT going to stop the overthrow, they wanted to stage a violent rebellion and the Queen balked again bc she did not want to see so many Hawaiians killed. Then, she was forced to sign away her sovereign rights forever.

I have native Hawaiian cousins from the North Shore of Oahu. Whenever people see us together and I tell them we're cousins, it usually causes confusion because of how white I am and how dark skinned they are. My aunt married their dad so we're not blood related, however we treat each other as brothers. They tell me of certain neighborhoods where whites are looked down upon, and it's only gotten worse over the decades. Luckily since we are family I never run into any issues when I'm with them at parties or gatherings, but I really don't blame the natives for having that outlook. Especially after watching this and learning more about how Hawaii was taken from them.

Sad this video ignored the native people of Hawaii wanting Independence, or the US federal law that bans direct trading with Hawaii. Instead all imports must go past the islands to California and then go to Hawaii, making life extremely expensive on the island. This was done as a successful attempt to force natives out to the continent, forcing natives that stayed into de facto servitude, while giving the rich colonizer’s extreme power over the natives lives.

In a perfect world then I think yes obviously it would have been preferable if it had continued to modernize as its own independent nation or if at the very least it had been left up to the indigenous Hawaiian population to decide their own fate. But I can also acknowledge that at this point that Hawaii is so integrated with the USA that it would be a nightmare to try to untangle it at this point wether it was acquired rightly or not. Things could be done however absolutely better to protect and recognize the indigenous population, and to safeguard the the overall Hawaiian population from priced/developed out of their own homes from the vacation industry and wealthy mainland American families simply wanting a vacation home.

I’m from Hawai’i and I wanted to point out that the Bayonet constitution disenfranchised the Native Hawaiian and Immigrant populations and they lost nearly all their voting power to rich white land owners. The proposed 1893 constitution was an attempt to restore political power to Native Hawaiians. I would not characterize it as being a restoration of absolute monarchy. The monarchy stopped being an absolute monarchy in 1840 with the first constitution which was incredibly progressive for its time.

My Mom spent a good chunk of her early years in Hawaii, where she was bullied for being White. The racial aspect is actually a relatively new phenomenon (1960s onwards), and it stems from the island's identity crisis going all the way back to Queen Liliʻuokalani. The coup was launched by the Hawaiian Oligarchy, which is about 50% native, and served to benefit the most from an American takeover, since they owned most of the sugar plantations. They still holds a huge sway over the archipelago's affairs to this day, having converted most of their plantations to resorts.

Hawaiian Monarchy was never a democracy

@rogerkinard7446 2 ай бұрын

The founders of this nation were very concerned regarding the inherent dangers of establishing a pure democracy; and that is why, in their utter genius, the United States of America was established as a constitutional republic. 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

I wonder what would have happened if none of this happened before ww2 and Hawaii was not a territory in 1941.

The Hawaiian Islands were needed as a coaling and resupply station for American ships headed to Asia and newly acquired Islands of the Philippines.

Yeah unfortunately, this is the history of pretty much every land everywhere. Some people overtaken by larger force, and pulled into some larger kingdom / Nation. Hell the England you see today, is directly as a result of the Roman Empire conquering them.

Why is the British flag part of the hawaiain flag?

@KarmaTheNarrator23 8 күн бұрын

One of the kings of Hawaii got gifted the Flag of the united kingdom by an English sailor and he like it enough to use a modified version of it as the flag of his state.

Normally the USA is portrayed as bad for supporting dictators. But in this video USA is portrayed as bad for NOT supporting a dictator? Eh, cool story bro.

A dictator that was married to her brother at one point. Sounds like an interesting family.

Kind of 🤷 but that is always how America expands anyways

@zjeee Ай бұрын

@@IrishMapper_sus That's how all states expand. You think Ireland started out with the territory they have now? Small clans conquered by big clans to found kingdoms oppressing others. All nations are built from single villages taking advantage of weaker neighbours. I am from a smaller nation myself so I get the whole let's make big countries feel ashamed and remind them that they have done bad things but truth be told my own country may be small but it grew by taking lands from our neighbors, there's no need to feel ashamed by it, everybody does it. And the ones that did not take that much only did so because they lacked the strength/numbers or had stronger neighbors.

Hawaii were lucky that the US haven't found an oil on their islands... I mean, the lack of FREEDOM, but basically the mechanism was the same. Force local government to abdicate by using the army. Hawaii was simply invaded by the US.

Russia had a colony on Kauai. Was kicked out by the Hawaiian monarch. Russia might reclaim the Hawaiian islands making it a part of the Russian Federation. If it does it will control the pacific. But will it use military force?

I feel so sorry for the remaining full blood native Hawaiians: 1. Their lands were taken by a powerful government. 2. Their culture and language were suppressed hence very little of it remain. 3. Their voices were suppressed because of influx of immigrants. They have become minorities in their own land. 4. Because of racial mixing, the native Hawaiian identity has weakened.
