How Did the US Annex Hawaii?

- Why is Hawaii a part of the USA? It's the only state outside of North America, and was the last to join the Union. Not to mention that it was independent, as the Kingdom of Hawaii, for a century before the US flag was raised over the islands. American settlers came to Hawaii before the US government did. They acted as missionaries and converted much of the Hawaiian population, but eventually, under the leadership of Sanford B. Dole and the Hawaiian League, they overthrew Queen Lili'uokalani and the Hawaiian monarchy, and invited in the US.

love how you mentioned the insanely large desire for america to have a naval base and japenese influence
Why would they mention concerns over Japanese expansion or an any historical context in a history video? America bad thats what people want to hear.
Also for their desire to subvert dominate, while giving the front like it's all legal and moral.
Great video. You really do deserve more subscribers for the amount of effort you put into your videos
As usual, fantastically done. Not surprised Dole was involved!
Hey, just came across your channel and - as a fellow much smaller UA-camr 😅 - really appreciate the work you put into your videos + subscribed! Your video actually reminded me of "Lost Kingdom: Hawaii's Last Queen, the Sugar Kings, and America's First Imperial Venture" by Julia Flynn Siler, which really is great book on the matter.
You definitely deserve more subscribers man, great video!
Ur video is very very enlightening the history of Hawaii n its People which I was not aware of its history rich in culture .
Great video as always!
It’s quite interesting how usually business interests kind of dominated American expansionism/interventions in some areas, like how America had a raid on Taiwan before it was cool in the 1860s or 70s because one of their merchant ships was destroyed. Or how they bombarded the falklands over arresting American whalers, the banana wars etc. etc. I used to think history of America was boring in some ways, even though I was an American, but I never really looked past the surface details until a few years ago and discovered the interesting events and practices that still define how my country operates.
America kinda took notes from Britain and the British east india company.
@@arrowpictures2844 No. Britain conquered in order to extract resources from others. America conquered in order to _sell_ its resources _to_ others.
@@SamAronow I didn’t say America did the same thing.
@@arrowpictures2844 Some countries govts are still taking notes. I know history isnt fair, but i feel at some point we have to learn to stop. Maybe its not completely possible make good on all past wrongs, but we can at least do our best to not repeat them.
@@SamAronow America constantly invaded Latin America for the sole purpose of pressuring the government or even installing entirely new USA friendly governments that would allow private American companies to pillage the country’s resources
interesting how history matters made a video the day after you did, it seems like you are the smaller version of his channel
Love my Hawaiian brothers and sisters!
this is especially interesting since i spent 5 months there
Kamehameha the great? İ think ve found master roshi’s island.
It's literally what the move is named after.
It can be read in japanese as "Turtle Destruction Wave", but the name is entirely derived from the author trying to come up with a pun with "Kame" (turtle") in it. That theming is also why Roshi wears a turtle-shell a lot of the time.
Yes good
Kamehame HA! 0:35 - While his legacy ended; his name will forever live on in our generation in Dragon Ball XD
What I am surprise is how Hawaii's population in 2005 was 16% Japanese / Filipino making up 15%
@Look Back History. Hawai'i was never "officially Annexed" it was, according to the International court at the Hague, illegally annexed and occupied by the USA; there was no signed treaty of annexation between the two recognized independent states. Look Back at the TRUTH and FACTS of History.
Say it louder for the people in the back!
Exactly! The US literally committed a war crime and additionally, Queen Liliuokalani never abdicated. She was overthrown. The monarchy is technically still in place. She just never named a successor.
This is false it’s internationally recognized as US Territory
@@enriqueperezarce5485international law is written and set. The world was fooled into thinking the US legally acquired the Hawaiian Kingdom, but it didn’t. No treaty, no acquisition. President Grover Cleveland admitted this and that is the reason he tried to restore the Hawaiian Kingdom Government but was prevented from his own congress who had interests in Hawaii as a naval base against the Spanish territories (phillipines was one of them). The Hawaiian kingdom is still a sovereign state. Hawaii is not American. It never was.
@@jaclynkiszczak230 it’s the usa what do you expect
King Kamehameha .....niceeee😂😂
As you soon as you said Americans and Europeans, we all knew those poor people were screwed and their fun lives ruined.
Racist
How to take over an archipelago (American style):
1) Weaken and destroy them in a war
2) Invest heavily in a huge economic boom and a dependency
3) In a crisis, revoke that investment, and watch their population collapse
4) To account for population loss, Americans move in and eventually outnumber the natives
5) Coup the government
Wait, I thought we were talking about Japan
you forgot the part where 93% of hawaiians voted in favor of hawaii being a state.
Ukraine
"Are we the baddies???"
Lincoln 💕
Out of a total population of 600,000 in the islands and 155,000 registered voters, 140,000 votes were cast, the highest turnout ever in Hawaii. The vote showed approval rates of at least 93% by voters on all major islands. Of the approximately 140,000 votes cast, fewer than 8,000 rejected the Admission Act of 1959.
Everything that happened AFTER the illegal overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawai'i is invalid/illegal.
@@kalaiolele8796it's called annexation
It's only ok if America does it.
TIL Vermont was independent
No UA-camr that i know make this Video.Thank's🥰
You're welcome! I aim to please.
4:55 once a territory is given statehood it will be American as long as American exist... you can't leave the union without war.
Sad
It's part of the US Interstate system. How else could it not be American.
❤❤ 1830. Paniolo : Mexico California Los Vaqueros (cowboys) they taught Hawaiians how to ranch 50 years before texas. Mexico alllowed Texans into Mexico but they brought slaves and Mexico said no. The confederacy tried to expand slavery to Mexico. Remember the Alamo.
It was an unlawful annexation through kidnapping and coercion.
To sum it up.
None of the requirements of annexation were met.
The Hawaiian Kingdom was never officially annexed. The Joint Resolution of annexation of the Hawaiian Islands in 1898 was a domestic US passed law, which by definition means it has no power in foreign territory (think: what if the US passed a law in the US that said that French citizens in France are American). Under international law, a country can only acquire foreign territory via a treaty, of which there is none between the U.S. and the Hawaiian Kingdom. The Hawaiian Kingdom remains a sovereign country that is being belligerently occupied by the U.S. Therefore, Hawaii is not a part of the US. Nor was it ever.
Unfortunately, if you have veto power in the UN you don’t have to follow international law. Hence US torture of Central American migrants, and rampant Russian violations of the Geneva convention
truth
Completely irrelevant. It happened 100 years ago and in practice it's part of the US.
@@mybodyisamachine Read my comment again. I’m not sure you comprehended it. Time doesn’t make illegal acts legal.
Aren't there no longer any Hawaiian monarchs regardless? How can it be illegal when there is no actual foreign polity left to dispute the annexation anyways? Hawaii has no government in exile or on the islands.

Kamekameha conquered the natives and took control of Hawaii
The USA did the same
So neither had the right to the islands so stop crying about being in this situation
Native is relative to when it began
Wrong, Hawaii was recognized as an independent nation state and still is by the United Nations till this day. This makes the U.S. occupation of Hawaii an international war crime. The US claims authority under color of law and deception (over 100 years of brain washing).
When Kamehameha united the islands under one rule, the Kingdom of Hawai'i was not recognised by the world as an indepedent state. In 1843 Great Britain issued a formal joint declaration with France , guaranteeing Hawaiian independence. The United States pursued an independent policy with regards to Hawaii. In a treaty signed in 1826, the United States formally recognized Hawaiian independence. Hawai'i was a sovereign constitutional monarchy until 1893, when the last Queen, Lili'uokalani, was deposed by a group of American sugar planters and missionaries, with the support of the US marines.
@@NuEyedeasit's literally not, look at who they recognize under H: hati, Honduras, Hungary
R: Republics of Korea and Moldova
Non of those places are Hawaii or the Republic of
@@kalaiolele8796so it was ok when the king kicked out or killed the other natives
It's okay though... they've changed their ways! People who are in charge of America are and always have been... pure angels to be trusted with every word! 😊
I don't appreciate your sarcasm.
The natives had a similar fate that the native americans. Became a minority in their own land, but it was worse for the native americans, who faced extermination and displacement to reservations.
This is why Lili’uokalani protested peacefully. She knew we would be extinct as a people had we fought as the indigenous in America did.
It was illegally annexed. The queen of Hawaii never submitted to the USA Inc.
Bigger army diplomacy.
If Hawaii was a kingdom again the last Hawaiian cowboy should be kin
King
Damn America did them dirty
They should be lucky if USA decided to let go of Hawaii then Russia will try to acquire it to be closer to the U.S
@bryantarriaga1315 America be like "there's plenty worse guys than me put there" using to Tony Soprano defense lol
You forgot to explain exactly how did the US Annex Hawaii though! US Congress did not pass the Treaty of Annexation, 3 times. Yes 3 times the Treaty of Annexation failed by the US Congress including President Cleveland. So without a Treaty, how did the US Annex Hawaii?
As popular as Dwayne Johnson (who is Half Samoan by the way) and Jason Mamoa are:
Why haven't they announced the creation of projects featuring this notorious part of Hawaii's history?
The same should lead to the TRAGIC EVENT of January 17, 1893 should be applied to the TV Shows featuring:
Both "HAWAII FIVE Os"
"MAGNUM PIs"
and "HAWAII N.C.I.S"
WHAT'S THE ISSUE?
Momoa is making a movie rn with this specific history. He just recruited local (kanaka maoli) people to participate in his audition in the Big Island and Oahu.

Puerto Rico you're next get ready to have your culture be a minority in your own land if you become a state.
This presentation is woefully lacking in factual information. Hawai’i was not “Annexed” in any lawful, Constitutional manner which REQUIRES a Treaty b/w the two nations wherein there is the consent of the people (the people formally petitioned the US Govt with a 90+% resounding “No” to Annexation); and a 2/3 vote of the SENATE-only (the House is proscribed by the Constitution from involvement with Treaties which is the sole domain and authority vested in the President w/ consent of 2/3 of the Senate). Regardless, the US wrongfully, illegally, and unconstitutionally acted and took Hawai’i with a simple majority vote of the combined Senate and House by a “Joint Resilution” which DOES NOT have legal authority outside of the borders of the U.S. The action was 100% fatally illegal; all that ensued therefrom, incl “Statehood” is null and void. To learn more, please avail yourself to “Hawaiian Kingdom Academia” on YT and watch its featured vid. / A caption came up in the comment section that noted to the effect that ‘comments & debates are welcomed,’ *but misinformation is not welcomed* - since this presentation itself is actually misinformation, what will happen to my comment since it runs contrary to the misinformation this vid represents. “Misinformation” strictures is an excellent way to suppress debate and comments of disagreement - it has the ring of velvet gloved impulses of a tyrannical view. / I will watch what happens to my post (containing 100% incontrovertible, factual information) with keen interest.
We ain’t reading all that bro, you lost get over it lol
@@nate9453 Your ignorant, close-minded remark effectively rejects the US Constitution and your “patriotism” is a sham - what do you actually stand for?!

1) Wealthy Hawaiians and the monarchy were very complacent and allowed all of this to happen. Robert Wilcox tried to get Kalakaua to man up and stand for Hawaii, but didn't... Robert Wilcox is a true revolutionary, and he's the one locals should be waving flags for
2) Hawaii aint gonna be sovereign.... 80% of the people here are Asian/ mixed Asian, and their ancestors came here a century ago and worked their tails off while the Hawaiians laid around and watched it happen...
You snooze , you lose.
But, hey, people love a good " F the man" narrative, so, heres another victimization story for the masses..
For english speakers who cant pronounce the queens name just call her by her english name Lydia
Annexation can be really beneficial. The US dis the smart thing here.
However if it was to be repeated it would need to be done differently because of rightful laws we have to follow
Yeha but Hawaii didnt like it its not fair to them
And also the us dosent follow laws there is a reason why the us is a war crime land
Kalakaua had engaged in Hawaiian imperial adventures in Samoa, and was threatened with War by the Empire of Germany. A German takeover would have been a disaster for non-German businessman, so thoughtful American-Hawaiian people acted.
RUSSIA also had a FORT on KAUAI. Who would you rather have?! The Kingdom did NOT have the UNITY, SUPPORT orr FINANCES to DEFEND itself in the MODERN WORLD. Better the USA than RUSSIA ANY DAY!
...says a Brit
It was no annexed it was INVADED AND CONQUERED

Unfortunately, this video lied. Hawaii had a cote on statehood of which over 80% of its native piulation voted foe it.

If there's a buck to be made........!
Hawaii would have never made it being Independent. Japan, China, Russia, etc, someone would have taken it easily. Lived in Hawaii for 3 years from 2010-13. Should've never left.
they could have been allies or protectant not be forced into the american union and native hawaiians still suffer
@@docaz9453 He doesn’t care
There are so many independent islands. America could have decolonized Hawaii. They deserve to be independent.
Not true, Hawaii was a country before and the US invaded and annex it, like all in its history.
@Vale Ok OK and Japan would've taken it in 1942, and probably killed almost everyone
Brought natives into modern world
Wrong.
@@tehauariikaonohi2141 cry bro, better us than china
@@jakerupp3840 nothing like ignorant trollers 👍🏽😂
@@tehauariikaonohi2141 lol stay mad kid
@@jakerupp3840 to address your initial comment, the US was quite far behind the Hawaiian Kingdom as far as governance goes. So what the US did did not bring natives into the modern world, it actually brought the Hawaiian kingdom backwards to where the US was. If you want to learn more check out some of the work of Lorenz Gonschor. 🤙🏾
Illegally annexed & occupied.
