The Hawaiian Islands became a U.S. territory. Why are there so many Japanese living here?

From a historical perspective, Hawaii was originally a country, and it also had a physical government. However, it is very weak, and this place is a strategic military location, and many countries want to claim it as their own. Japan and the United States once fought over this, but later lost. At that time, a large number of Japanese immigrated to Hawaii, which is why there are so many Japanese in Hawaii.

1. The roundabout policy adopted by the Japanese

Hawaii is considered a strategic military location. It was once a battleground between France and Britain, but later neither country took it, and The fight is a lose-lose situation. At this time, Japan and the United States were interested in this land. Both countries were considered rising stars. In the initial battle, Japan gradually fell into a disadvantage, so it decided to use roundabout methods. At that time, the Japanese government vigorously promoted immigration, which caused many Japanese people to immigrate to Hawaii. At that time, they got along very friendly with the Hawaiian people, and the number of locals and Japanese was almost the same.

2. Later, Japan failed in World War II, and people chose to stay in Hawaii.

In World War II, Japan was a defeated country, which meant that it did not have the strength to fight with the United States. The Japanese people who immigrated to Hawaii at that time had become accustomed to the local life, so they chose to stay in Hawaii. In fact, after the United States took control of Hawaii, Japanese immigration was prohibited. After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, a large number of Japanese in Hawaii were detained, but they were released after World War II. After living here for so many years, Hawaii has become their hometown and they don't want to leave here at all. So there is the scene we see now, where Japanese people are everywhere.

In fact, there are many such things, and there are many Chinese people abroad. This is inseparable from history, and we need to analyze it from a historical perspective. Nowadays, Hawaii is considered a tourist destination. People who travel frequently will find that most of the local people are Japanese.
