1776, the British first discovered the Hawaiian islands. Like other islands in the East Pacific, it belongs to the Polynesian ethnic group. Hawaiians live the most primitive life, grow many tropical economic plants and maintain a strict hierarchy. Since the British discovered it, they brought western culture to this island, and Hawaiians were forced to participate in the wave of world modernization.

With the arrival of western missionaries, the traditional Hawaiian monarchy is no longer applicable. At that time, King Kamehameha III of Hawaii began to establish a constitutional monarchy in Hawaii. Because the geographical position of the kingdom of Hawaii was very important at that time, it was targeted by British, French and American colonists. In this great power game, Hawaii has gradually become a victim on the political stage.

With the continuous influx of foreigners and the arrival of Europeans, Americans and Asians, Hawaiian society has become a multi-ethnic society. As the first European country to discover Hawaii, Britain first came up with the idea of annexing this rich land, and extremely did not want Hawaii to become an independent country.

After Kamehameha I, the kingdom of Hawaii won the war of independence and wanted to seek the support of Anglo-American law. At this time, Britain is naturally unwilling to help. At this time, Americans exerted their political wisdom and actively mediated the relationship between Britain, France and Hawaii; When negotiating with the Kingdom of Hawaii, we recognized the independence of the Kingdom of Hawaii. In this case, Britain and France finally recognized the independence of the Kingdom of Hawaii. After all, they are too far apart.

Although Hawaii's independence and reunification have been successful, Britain, France and other European and American countries will obviously not give up easily. By 1843, Britain had forcibly claimed sovereignty over Hawaii, and France was not far behind. 1849 directly and illegally sent troops to occupy some islands in the kingdom of Hawaii. At that time, because of the outbreak of civil war, the United States had no time to take care of it. Immediately after the civil war, Americans announced? Hawaii belongs to the Hawaiians themselves? Other countries cannot interfere in the occupation of the kingdom of Hawaii. This made the kingdom of Hawaii see a glimmer of hope, but they never imagined that it was actually inviting wolves into the room.

1887, Americans demanded the establishment of a naval base in Hawaii on the condition of importing a large amount of Hawaiian sugar (the famous Pearl Harbor is located in Hawaii). At this time, the kingdom of Hawaii was at home and abroad and had to accept this request. Since then, American capitalists have begun to invest in the sugar industry in Hawaii. With the arrival of a large number of Americans and American capital, the Hawaiian parliament has also become a pro-American parliament, and the power of the Hawaiian king is getting smaller and smaller.

The United States took this opportunity to send troops to Hawaii to oppress the queen of Hawaii on the grounds of safeguarding the interests of white people. In order to prevent the domestic situation from getting out of control, the Queen of Hawaii had to surrender to the United States. Then it was founded by white people? Security Committee? Established a new one? * * * and Hawaii? And handed over the leadership of the government to the United States on the grounds of canceling tariffs, making Hawaii officially an overseas territory of the United States.

The current situation in Hawaii has nothing to do with its national conditions. Hawaii's economy is mainly agriculture, that is, sugar industry, which is one of the reasons why Hawaiians have to rely on the United States. Even now, Hawaii's developed tourism industry is inseparable from the support of Americans. Native Americans and Japanese are the main tourists in Hawaii.

Although Hawaiian aborigines have never given up the independence movement, after the end of World War II, the world witnessed the upsurge of national liberation, and the aborigines and Asians at the bottom of Hawaii rose up to launch a revolutionary movement in an attempt to establish their own political power. However, the revolutionary movement was quickly suppressed by the harsh repressive measures of the United States. In the subsequent referendum, Hawaii finally chose to join the United States. From 65438 to 0958, Hawaii officially became the 50th state of the United States.
