History of Hawaii

history
  • Events and people in Hawaii's history have
    received a lot of attention in recent years --
    the fact that you're reading this is evidence of
    that!
  • There are many differing interpretations of what
    Hawaii was like before western contact, the
    abilities and accomplishments of the rulers in
    leading the people of the islands into
    relationships with the wider world after
    centuries of near isolation, and what actually
    happened during the period where the sovereignty
    of the islands passed from the Kingdom of Hawai'i
    to the United States. There are as many differing
    opinions of what all of this means today.
  • When studying history, it's important to
    understand the difference between facts and
    interpretations or opinions. Some believe that
    sovereignty never did pass to the U.S., and this
    opinion is valid, so even the statement above
    would be considered interpretation! Others
    believe that the system of government chosen by
    the citizens of the United States is superior to
    any other, and this opinion is also valid, so
    these folks might think it's meaningless to say
    any more than Hawaii's now a state, everyone's
    better off, and all that stuff happened a long
    time ago, so what difference does it make? These
    are ONLY opinions and beliefs, though, they are
    not facts.
  • Another important consideration when studying
    history is that we need to try to put ourselves
    in the time and place of the people and events we
    study. Times were different. Customs were
    different. Even some of the laws were different.
    Neither Hawaii nor the United States was much
    then like each is today. No matter how
    significant or isolated any single event may
    seem, it should also be viewed in relation to
    other events, in the islands, in the United
    States and around the world.
  • A final consideration is to remember that the
    writer of any history has a reason for writing
    what they do. This is called motive and can
    influence the way an event or person is
    described. Nearly all of what is written about
    Hawaii's history is tainted by the motivation of
    the writer, including what you're reading this
    instant!
  • As you use the resources we've gathered here,
    please keep these things in mind. What we know of
    Hawaii's history is in as much flux as the times
    themselves. Much of what has been written would
    have us believe that pre-contact natives were
    savages, that the rulers were incompetent, and
    that the overthrow, annexation, and ultimately
    statehood was good for Hawaii, that it's what
    Hawaii's people wanted and that it's what the
    people of the United States wanted. As is often
    the case, it depends on who you ask!
  • We've divided Hawaii's history into four distinct
    periods
  • Ancient Times - Contact Origins of the islands
    through European contact in the 18th Century
    Volcanoes Polynesian voyaging first settlers
    James Cook Kamehameha the Great.
  • Monarchy Years 19th Century unification of the
    islands missionaries Kamehameha Dynasty
    international relations trade and commerce
    immigration constitutional government Monarchs
    overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii transitional
    government.
  • Territorial Years 20th Century Annexation of
    Hawaii to the United States territorial
    government plantations unions Pearl Harbor
    World War II post-war business and politics.
  • Statehood to Present  Modern Hawaii tourism
    agriculture military education economy
    government social and political issues.
