How was Hawaii, 3700 kilometers from the mainland of the United States, annexed? Clever means.

It is mentioned that many people's first impression of Hawaii is a world-famous tourist attraction, so let's talk about those things about Hawaii.

There are four main reasons for the formation of islands, namely, mainland islands, volcanic islands, coral islands and alluvial islands. Hawaii Island belongs to a volcanic island, which is located on the fault zone of the Pacific crust and formed by volcanic eruption. There are 132 islands, with a land area of16700 square kilometers. It belongs to an island climate, with annual monsoon regulation and annual average temperature of 26. Around 750, Hawaii welcomed the first batch of outsiders, Porini people from Marquez Islands, and some Tahitians moved in around13rd century, and they * * * formed the indigenous people of Hawaii.

1778, the famous explorer Captain Cook landed on this land and named it "Sandwich Islands". You must not think that the captain likes sandwiches very much. This name is mainly to thank his boss, the fourth generation earl of sandwich, who sponsored the expedition for Captain Cook. After returning to Europe, the captain of the client described Hawaii Island as dreamy, which made many people yearn for it. In this way, immigrants from all over the world flocked to Pandora's Box.

With the increase of immigrants, local residents in Hawaii have broadened their horizons and know that divided tribes will hinder development and it is necessary to establish a unified regime. So in 1795, Hawaiians established the Kingdom of Hawaii with Lu Lu badminton as its capital. It should be mentioned here that Honolulu, which we are familiar with, is now the capital of Hawaii. In the early days, Honolulu was produced and exported to China, where there were many China people, so Honolulu once referred to Hawaii. In order to overthrow the Manchu government, Dr. Sun Yat-sen made many speeches in Honolulu, and established the New China Association in Honolulu, which made the name of Honolulu more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

After reunification, the life of the kingdom of Hawaii was not smooth, and it was often influenced by the great powers, and Britain and France were eyeing it. What's more, the interior of the kingdom of Hawaii is not stable, and there are many contradictions between the descendants of western immigrants and local aborigines. When Americans saw this situation, they offered an olive branch to Hawaiian whites, and the local whites were encouraged. The protest eventually turned into a coup and the Hawaiian dynasty was overthrown. Later, the pro-American faction handed Hawaii over to the United States and became an overseas territory of the United States on the grounds that Hawaii could be incorporated into the United States. In this way, Hawaii, 3700 kilometers away from the United States, officially became the territory of the United States.

From 65438 to 0959, Hawaii officially became the 50th state of the United States. From the map, the location of the Hawaiian Islands is very special, almost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and its strategic position is outstanding, which is one of the reasons why the United States insists on annexing Hawaii. After Hawaii belonged to the United States, Americans built a large number of military bases there, and the Pacific fleet was stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, to deter the whole Pacific and Far East. 194 1 year, the Japanese decided to strike first and planned the famous pearl harbor incident, which caused more than 3,000 casualties of the US military and the Pacific War broke out.
