Why is Hawaii, an island country full of Japanese, occupied by the United States? -

When it comes to Hawaii, most people's first impression is the scenic spots. Hawaii attracts many tourists every year because of its pleasant climate and beautiful scenery, which was once known as a paradise for surfers.

Hawaii is located on the fault zone of the Pacific crust and consists of 132 islands, all of which were formed by volcanic eruption. The land area of the whole island group is about 1.67 million square kilometers. Because of the geographical location, all the islands in Hawaii have an island climate. Due to the adjustment of the perennial monsoon, the annual average temperature is maintained at 26-365,438+0, which is very suitable for people who like the sea and surf. Therefore, it receives more than 7 million tourists every year. Everyone wants to visit the island in person and experience different tropical customs. Uncle Lu is no exception. He yearns for this place.

But who would have thought that many years ago, such an undisputed group of islands and reefs would be targeted by a group of western powers, and everyone was eyeing this fat meat and wanted to swallow it, even the United States, 3700 kilometers away.

Although Hawaii is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, it is controlled by the United States everywhere and is the only island country in the United States. Islanders who should have lived a carefree life have also become accessories of the United States. What happened?

Initially, the Hawaiian Islands did not belong to the United States. About 1400 years ago, it was actually an independent country. The earliest people who lived on the island were Porini people from Maguire Islands. Although they have no writing, they have their own unique religious beliefs and cultural concepts. Karp's primitive religion is their belief. In the past many years, people living here have lived very comfortably. Men go fishing and hunting during the day, while women.

But later, this paradise was discovered. In A.D. 1778, james cook, a British navigator, boarded the Hawaiian island of Oahu in order to avoid the wind and waves. After returning to Europe, Captain Cook described Hawaii as a paradise. For a time, this paradise hidden in the Pacific Ocean was exposed to the world. Since then, immigrants from western countries have flooded in. After seeing the Hawaiian Islands, the west has started a strong invasion mode.

Because of its special geographical position, the Hawaiian Islands are located in the center of the Pacific Ocean and at the crossroads of Asia, the United States and Oceania. Therefore, if someone occupies the Hawaiian islands, it will be of great help to the country's air and sea transportation. In this way, countries led by Britain and the United States began to tinker around the edges, and everyone was eyeing this strategic location.

1785, British merchant ships first landed in the Hawaiian Islands through trade, bringing foreign culture to Hawaii. Gradually, with more and more westerners from outside, new cultures and ideas gradually infiltrated, and the pattern of Hawaii also changed. After learning about the outside world, local residents in Hawaii found that the combination mode of primitive tribes would hinder development, and they must establish a unified regime like other countries. So in 1795, Hawaiian Chief Kamehameha unified the whole country, calling himself King Kamehameha I of Hawaii, and then opened diplomatic exchanges with other countries.

What Kamehameha didn't expect, however, was that while he announced the founding of the People's Republic of China, his country had been targeted by the United States, which made good use of power.

Soon, the United States began to "brainwash" the kingdom of Hawaii culturally and economically. If a country wants to completely surrender to itself, it must first change its thinking. In terms of culture, the United States assigned a large number of Christian missionaries for cultural baptism. They are called missionaries, but in fact they are cultural aggression. They set up schools in the Kingdom of Hawaii, controlled the education here in a short time, and made all islanders their students. After the ideological control is almost over, we will start with the economy. American businessmen lavished luxury goods on the Hawaiian royal family. A large number of luxury goods make it heavily in debt, so when there is no money to pay off the debts, it is repaid at a discount with the local specialty sandalwood.

By the middle of19th century, Americans had formed an unshakable commercial territory in Hawaii, and almost four-fifths of commercial resources were in the hands of Americans. In this way, in the long-planned planning of the United States, the connection between the United States and Hawaii is inseparable, and Britain, which took the lead in landing in Hawaii, has long been kicked out.

The United States, which thought it could enjoy the success, once again met its old enemy, and Japan, which is gradually rising, is also eyeing this fat meat.

Japan is a very careful country. Japan, which has benefited from several wars, will naturally not miss this opportunity. Knowing the shortage of labor in the kingdom of Hawaii, they imported a lot of labor and even sent many veterans to Hawaii as laborers. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to accumulate strength. By the 1980s of 19, a quarter of the population on the island were Japanese immigrants, and the huge population base has become one of the most feared reasons in the United States.

On the other hand, the king of Hawaii is also afraid of the political influence of the United States and his power is overhead. Therefore, in order to balance his rights and make Japan confront the western forces, the king put forward the plan of the Association of East Asian Nations, tried to lobby East Asian countries, and even thought of making Japan the leader of this alliance. However, this plan did not come true and Japan refused.

Seeing that its efforts are being disintegrated bit by bit, how can the United States stop there? Therefore, putting the king under house arrest and establishing an interim government has become the most urgent thing in the United States. This is the usual trick of the United States, first find someone who listens to his own words to stabilize the situation, and then gradually achieve annexation. 1893, the navy of the cruiser Boston landed in Honolulu. With the cooperation of the pro-American faction and the US navy, a coup took place in Hawaii.

Although Japan sent warships to Hawaii under the banner of protecting overseas Chinese in the early days of the establishment of the American interim government, Japan did not get any benefits because of the war pattern at that time. 1898, Hawaii, as the throat of the Pacific Ocean, was captured by the United States. 1959, Hawaii officially became the 50th state and the only archipelagic state in the United States.

In short, once the operation, the United States got what it wanted, which also gave Japan enough face. As for the kingdom of Hawaii, it has become a thing of the past among the aborigines.
