When did Hawaii belong to the United States?

History and culture

The earliest tribes that occupied Hawaii arrived in the Hawaiian Islands from Maxas Island (Cael, Sass Island) in about 500-700 BC, and flourished here. Four hundred years later, immigrants from Tahiti, 2500 miles away, led by the stars, the sun and migratory birds, came to Hawaii to conquer and integrate the first immigrant tribes.

Ancient Hawaiians followed a strict social class system. The chiefs of various tribes rule the whole island with absolute power. The civilian class is committed to producing all kinds of food and commodities needed to maintain society. This rural life lasted for centuries until it was invaded by external forces at the end of the eighteenth century.

Captain james cook led the British ship "Determination" to reach Echo Island in June 1778. Nine months later, he returned to the Makahiai Festival and arrived on the big island of Hawaii. The islanders believe that this white man is the reincarnation of the god they believe in and worship him. In order to get back the stolen goods, Captain Cook clashed with the nomadic people on the island and killed an aboriginal. Cook got his revenge and lost his life.

After the death of Captain Cook, a young man named Kamehameha assembled an army, conquered all the hostile leaders and unified Hawaii. 1795 established the first monarchy and became the first king. Later generations praised him as the greatest hero in Hawaii.

The last ruler of Hawaii was Lily Uokalani, who handed over power peacefully in 1893 and led Hawaii into the stage of * * * and political system in 1894. 1900, Hawaii became a part of American territory.

Hawaii, as a dependency of the United States, is governed by the Constitution and laws of the United States and is managed by the 65,438+02 deacon appointed by the federal government of the United States. It was not until 1959 that Hawaii officially became the fiftieth state of the United States. Nowadays, Hawaii's multicultural lifestyle has completely lost its original flavor, and only Aloha spirit will always exist in the hearts of all Hawaiians.
