Should Hawaii be part of the United States? Also if you guys have any suggestions for future topics, please reply bellow

Here for this. I was born in Cincinnati Ohio, joined the Marines at 17 and was stationed in Hawaii. Huge culture shock, and most people don't all know the information made in this video. And that is depressing to me.

Thanks for making a video on this topic which covers most of the historical facts without all of the emotional charge and romanticism other videos get wrapped up in. And double thanks for taking the time to get most of your pronunciations pretty good. It's appreciated.

It always starts with "missionaries" and ends with euro-decendants owning everything. Even the native people.

Great video; not sure if you realize you have Honolulu, on the island of Kaui. It should be on the island of Oahu.

The Panama Canal did not exist in 1874.

One can't help but feel a fair amount of sympathy for Queen Liliuokalani. She was bullied into losing her throne when she was just trying to undo some wrongs that had been done to her family and people.

US: Hawaii cannot be given to locals for geopolitical reasons of pacific defence. Same happened for other islands: Marshall Islands, Guam, temporarily Ryukyu, Samoa, Fed. States of Micronesia and 10+ more islands in Pacific.

I have native Hawaiian cousins from the North Shore of Oahu. Whenever people see us together and I tell them we're cousins, it usually causes confusion because of how white I am and how dark skinned they are. My aunt married their dad so we're not blood related, however we treat each other as brothers. They tell me of certain neighborhoods where whites are looked down upon, and it's only gotten worse over the decades. Luckily since we are family I never run into any issues when I'm with them at parties or gatherings, but I really don't blame the natives for having that outlook. Especially after watching this and learning more about how Hawaii was taken from them.

Good video.

you said 1984! at 8:49! WOO WOO!! - Happens to me sometimes. i get numbers mixed up.

How did you create the map in the video?

bro activated KAMEHAMEHA

In a perfect world then I think yes obviously it would have been preferable if it had continued to modernize as its own independent nation or if at the very least it had been left up to the indigenous Hawaiian population to decide their own fate. But I can also acknowledge that at this point that Hawaii is so integrated with the USA that it would be a nightmare to try to untangle it at this point wether it was acquired rightly or not. Things could be done however absolutely better to protect and recognize the indigenous population, and to safeguard the the overall Hawaiian population from priced/developed out of their own homes from the vacation industry and wealthy mainland American families simply wanting a vacation home.

Hey, can u please make video about the Hayatos? The Austronesians in Japan

What's the music at the end?

8:45 the transcript says "1894" and the narrator clearly says "1984"

@4:06, the graphic shows the British travelling through the Panama Canal in 1874. The Panama Canal wasn't finished until 1914! That's a bit of a miss by the editor.

Hawaii is a great place for the Naval forces. Also, it plays as a very fast deployment base for the military. Of course, that was way before the US had bases in Guam, Japan and South Korea.

Please make vlogs on : " Rise and Fall of Persian Empire" , "Rise and Fall of Mongols/ Mongolians " .

One area of information not entered into this video is the threat, real or imagined by the USA of Britain, Japan or even Germany seizing the islands and controlling a vast area of the central Pacific. This was an ever present worry of the USA and it's own Hawaiian residents, not necessarily the local native born residents.

I see a lot of people who keep saying #FreeHawaii in the comments... as a descendant of native Hawaiians who lived on the islands when the Kingdom was overthrown, the idea of freeing Hawaii toady is absolutely absurd. Yes, the overthrow was bad and Grover Cleveland should've done more to stop it when it was in motion. But Hawaii's economy today is built on tourism... primarily AMERICAN tourism, because it's a domestic destination that's exotic to travel to - NO passport, foreign currencies, or excessive duties/fees needed. You take that away, and you'll see a sharp decline in tourism to the islands. On top of that, now the islands have to find a new way to provide for citizens and subsidize it's economy, now that the US & its people are out of the question. That also leads into military support... Pearl Harbor and Hawaii's strategic location are perfect for any country seeking to have dominance over the Pacific Ocean militarily. There's no way Hawaii would be able to stand up to other nations on their own if another nation decided to take the islands for themselves (i.e. China).They'll either be conquered again, or forced to become reliant on another larger nation in the region. The Kingdom of Hawaii was a marvel of its time - a civilized kingdom whose people embraced Christianity and its Western values openly, without force very early on. Who was one of the very few islands not conquered by foreign powers (no, the Union Jack on Hawaii's flag did not mean it was a British Colony. Go look up the history of the Kingdom's flag), and had good, consistent relations with many major foreign nations. Who were able to develop and embrace an unique culture and people all of their own. Let's work to revive the culture and legacy of the Kingdom, and not let the whitewashing of culture that is taking place in major cities all throughout the world, happen in Hawaii. That goes for other places too - Texas, the South, the Midwest, etc.

Sad this video ignored the native people of Hawaii wanting Independence, or the US federal law that bans direct trading with Hawaii. Instead all imports must go past the islands to California and then go to Hawaii, making life extremely expensive on the island. This was done as a successful attempt to force natives out to the continent, forcing natives that stayed into de facto servitude, while giving the rich colonizer’s extreme power over the natives lives.

Nice sharing

And let's not forget about Hawaiian Punch 😁

You have Honolulu on the wrong island @ 00:48

Same that's happening in Haiti right now.

i feel bad for native hawaiians

Because if we didn't then the British Empire most assuredly would have.

Why is their independence unusual?

Can you make a video on Polynesian exploration/expansion?

Meanwhile, Puerto Rico is still waiting for statehood.

Make videos on gurjar pratihara empire

But hey they got a Dole Plantation

Hawaii #1

I’m from Hawai’i and I wanted to point out that the Bayonet constitution disenfranchised the Native Hawaiian and Immigrant populations and they lost nearly all their voting power to rich white land owners. The proposed 1893 constitution was an attempt to restore political power to Native Hawaiians. I would not characterize it as being a restoration of absolute monarchy. The monarchy stopped being an absolute monarchy in 1840 with the first constitution which was incredibly progressive for its time.

Surprised we didn't keep going southwest and turn Australia into the 51st state

Excellent question. Let’s give it to Japan. Cheers!

Great video but please no more grey water... got me confused as heck in the beginning

Shout out Grover Cleveland.

Is it me or did the narrator miss the part of the Queen getting locked into her own room?

What kind of government did Hawaii have before 1810?

Nothing new . . . under the sun. It's just never ending.

My sister was born in Hawaii on March 14, 1998.

Because America took it

It sounds like the missionaries themselves weren’t a problem but their descendants. It is an unfortunate part of Christianity that many biblical Christians end up with children who aren’t and act in an unchristian manner.

So Hawaii is the answer to: Which U.S. territory was once a monarchy ?

It's way overdue for Puerto Rico to be a state.

#FreeHawaii

I just want to point out that if Hawaii had a referendum for or against independence today and only native Hawaiians were allowed to vote, 85% would vote to stay within the US.

10:41 / 10:56

Pineapples. The Dole company.

I have a feeling you'e never used google maps before

And why not?

Bro is really named Kamehameha

Hawaii was a constitutional monarchy before the bayonet constitution. Also Liliuokalani didn’t change it to an absolute monarchy. That’s something that people get wrong.

Certain history books in the USA recount things differently.

While Hawai’i did have its flaws, it did have its pros as well. They had good relationships with the Europeans and Americans, actually recognizing Argentina before anyone else. They prioritized education and were keenly invested into technology. That is why Iolani Palace had electricity before the White House.

King KAA-MEEE-HAAAA-MEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

If America didn't have Hawaii some other country would grab it.

Bro sounds like Oxhorn

King Kamehameha lol

MURICA’

Mainland usa is just East Hawaii 😂

When will Puerto Ricotta become a State of the US? And why it hasn’t become one yet?

Important to know that by the time of the referendum Hawaii was barely Hawaiian

Because it has 🍍 plantations everywhere and nice beaches. The sun is to all.

Free Hawaii

Such was the behavior of all great powers during the Age of Colonialism.

America heck yeah WORLD POLICE

I feel so sorry for the remaining full blood native Hawaiians: 1. Their lands were taken by a powerful government. 2. Their culture and language were suppressed hence very little of it remain. 3. Their voices were suppressed because of influx of immigrants. They have become minorities in their own land. 4. Because of racial mixing, the native Hawaiian identity has weakened.

❤❤❤❤❤

Disgraceful really...

My Mom spent a good chunk of her early years in Hawaii, where she was bullied for being White. The racial aspect is actually a relatively new phenomenon (1960s onwards), and it stems from the island's identity crisis going all the way back to Queen Liliʻuokalani. The coup was launched by the Hawaiian Oligarchy, which is about 50% native, and served to benefit the most from an American takeover, since they owned most of the sugar plantations. They still holds a huge sway over the archipelago's affairs to this day, having converted most of their plantations to resorts.

You have the dot for Honolulu on the wrong island...

Because it was there! 😂

#freehawai

i feel envious of Hawaiians because they were back up economically and militarily by the USA and in return USA will have a luxurious paradise destination in the Middle of the Pacific LOL

In short....that's what the US did back then. In fact, it's pretty much what most powerful nations did at the time. Not judging. It's just fact.

Murica...freedom...yee haw

Mass migration to the islands led to its downfall 🧐 interesting…

Its crazy that this almost didn't happen Britain almost made it a protectorate if that happened the whole of American power would of been insanely weaker.

King Kamehameha????

Because Murica. XD

And after all that, they DEW'ed it. God bless the native people of Hawaii.

AmericaAAAAAA F YEAH

Because colonialism and geopolitics. There, saved you 10 minutes.

Is that the same "Dole" on 🍌?

Why is the British flag part of the hawaiain flag?

The Hawaiian Islands were needed as a coaling and resupply station for American ships headed to Asia and newly acquired Islands of the Philippines.

Could Hawai’i leave the USA?

We SHOULD be up to 55, not 50. American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the United States Virgin islands. We need to make them official states.

To whoever reads this, I just want to let you know that Jesus Christ loves you so much and He died for you on the cross to forgive your sins, and rose from the dead on the 3rd day to give you eternal life! Repent of your sins and turn to Jesus Christ! Put your trust in Him and you will have eternal life! For today is the day of salvation! God loves you and wants to be in relationship with you 🙂❤️

Russia had a colony on Kauai. Was kicked out by the Hawaiian monarch. Russia might reclaim the Hawaiian islands making it a part of the Russian Federation. If it does it will control the pacific. But will it use military force?

Because they could

I wonder what would have happened if none of this happened before ww2 and Hawaii was not a territory in 1941.

So in other words it was invaded ?

KAA ME HA ME HAAAA
