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.
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.
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.

@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.
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.
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
Yep! That applies to all legal states. LEGAL states. Hawaii, however, was ILLEGALLY annexed. Therefore, Hawaii, if it wants too, can leave the union. However, it would cause a lot of debate, and most likely take a long time for Hawaii to be free, yet I doubt Hawaii would have to fight it’s way to freedom. After all, Hawaii was illegally annexed. Hawaii was also given recognition by the US itself for the illegal overthrow, meaning if a majority of Hawaiian Islanders wanted to be a nation, the US can’t really do anything legally to stop it. However, Hawaii being a new nation would most likely not happen since most Hawaiian citizens are satisfied with how the US is treating Hawaii now, and making a nation from scratch also takes a lot of work, discouraging the citizens of Hawaii even more.
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.
I love how we just never learn about how we straight up stole Hawaii in history class. It’s just like “and then Hawaii joined the Union and became the 50th state!!”

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.

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.
What's your point? Hawaii voted with 90% to become the 50th state? The minority never ever call the shots. I would put it up for a vote again and see what happens? Let's see what the outcome of the vote would be?
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!
There was a higher percentage of literate people in the Hawaiian Kingdom that in the US at the time of the overthrow. The Palace had electricity and lights before the Whitehouse. The US did not have to build schools, Fire Stations, Police Stations or hospitals when the Kingdom was overthrown, they just took them over and changed the rules; like only allowing the kids in school to speak English and not their native languages, and having police sign pledges to the new government.
Practices of Hawaii are returning due to their way of life and sustainability. The only thing the hā’ole excelled at was disease. We were very progressive especially when compared to a pathetic group of people that needed indigenous/natives to help them to survive in America. History could have been so different if natives just looked the other way.
