BRIEF HISTORY:

The allure of the 50th and last state entered into the Union makes Hawaii a tropical paradise.

Its oldest origins date back to the early hundreds A.D. when Polynesian settlers claimed it home, however in terms of European historical origins it wasn't until the late eighteen hundreds that anyone from that part of the world made contact with it, when James Cook explored this area.

Surprisingly though, very little is known or fully understood about some of Hawaii's origins, and the discussion goes back and forth on who rightfully was there first. At one point there had to have been chiefs who ruled charted land, sometimes these would be complete islands.

However, it has been conversed that perhaps around one thousand A.D. Tahiti may have played a part in Hawaii's history.

Cook was the first to ever deal with the natives of Hawaii, and like some other places had trouble. One boat was seized from him, and upon returning for a second time to what he called the Sandwich Islands, attempted to ransom it back into his possession.

This did not go over well as the locals put up a strong fight, however because of Captain Cook's interest in what would later be called Hawaii, this opened up the doors for other Europeans to visit.

The saddest part is that with these explorers came disease that the natives of the islands were not conditioned to. This eventually led to about one fifth of them being killed.

The next crucial phase in this later U.S. state's history came about because all of the chiefs were constantly at war with each other. This in turned causes there to be one ruler known as King Kamehameha the Great.

A long lineage of kings from this birth right would continue to rule over Hawaii, and missionaries entered throughout the eighteen hundreds, converting many natives to Christianity.

Oddly enough, during the later 1800s, the rulers became reckless and did not properly state any successors time and time again. This left Hawaii open to foreign interests coming in, particularly the United States.

A little later on Hawaii was forced into a constitution, removing the power of the king at this time, and being a huge victory in the favor of the wealthy.

Some time after this a government was installed rather than a monarchy.

During the nineteen fifties, many of the great children from immigrants who had produced hard work over the years for wealthy land owners pushed for statehood, and on Aug. 21st, 1959 Hawaii entered into the Union.
