Essay on Hawaii

The annexation of Hawaii was an important event in the history of the world. It is still not easy for the Hawaiians to accept the fact that America had taken over a land 2500 miles away from the West Coast. In 1917 Hawaii was considered the 50th state supported by the islanders after a plebiscite. Queen Lydia Kamakaeha Liliuokalani was overthrown because of the support of the United States army as well as naval forces to a group of businessmen belonging to the sugar and pineapple industry. The Armed forces of the United States were ordered to provide this support on the directives of the minister of the United States to Hawaii. In reality they were missionaries who had been welcomed for several years by the

Hawaii was once filled with warm weather and aloha spirit. Well, atleast thats what I once remembered. Two centuries ago, America sent out a signal to Shuttle Delta 400, a satellite research base stationed up in space. Without Intelligence knowing, the signal was accidentally transmitted to Russia's Satellite defence, triggering their nuclear weapons on their own territory. It was just the beginning of World War III. For years both countries fought, one seeking revenge, and another seeking apologies and pity. The war escalated into a nuclear war, killing those by the hundreds, and vaporizing others by the thousandths. America, the land of the free, the land of the brave , and the land of justice was left with nothing but rebel and crime.

An Indian and French soldier arrived to inform Bourgmont that the boats with the cargo and goods were undamaged but crewmembers were sick with a fever. He sent both French and Indian men to gather the boats and sent Missouri Indians to inform the Oto tribe that he had arrived (Bourgmont, 52-53). Bourgmont then accompanied each of the four chiefs, one from each tribe-Illinois, Osage, Missouri, and Oto. The Missouri ‘Princess’ also traveled with them (Bourgmont,

“An evil day came upon us; your forefathers crossed the great waters, and landed on this island,” stated Red Jacket. The evil spread slowly: first, by “making friends” with the natives, then by weakening the natives by introducing the evil of European civilizations (liquor, as mentioned “they also brought strong liquor among us; it was strong and powerful, and has slain thousands”), and then simply eliminating them as

scurvy or starved. When they finally were able to stay on land, they found the

Cook and his crew returned to Hawaii in Kealakekua Bay. Belief in the explorers as gods was restored when they anchored their ships in this specific bay. Kealakekua Bay was regarded as the sacred bay of Lono and at the time of their arrival, they were having a festival dedicated to Lono. They took the explorers' arrival in the sacred as a sign from the gods. The Hawaiians welcomed Cook with a feast. The chief of the tribe presented him with a small pig, two coconuts, and piece of red cloth to wrap himself in as an offering. Similar treatment continued for about a month. The English abused the charity shown by the Polynesians, taking advantage of their goods, ideas, and crops. They praised the explorers and treated them as royalty.

There climates include mild temperatures throughout the year, with warm and gentle trade winds. Hawaii really only has two seasons summer from May to October and winter from November to April. Hawaiians named the warmer seasons ¨Kau¨ when the sun is almost directly overhead and the weather is warmer and drier while the wind is blowing mostly from the northeast. They also named the cooler seasons ¨Ho´olio¨ when the sun is lower in the South, and the winds are more noticeable, while there is more rainfall and mostly cloudy. Temperatures in the summer range from 79-83 temperatures never rarely get over 90 and never get below 60. This sounds like perfect weather if you ask me! Hawaii's longest days are about 13.5 hours and the shortest are about 11 hours since it is located closer to the Equator. While the three tallest mountains Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, and Haleakala receive snow during the winter months. If your someone that also wants snow while having warm weather then you could easily live on one of those three mountains in Hawaii. Hawaii does receive rain often, but many say the rain isn't how it is in other places the rain is light and calming now hard rain to where you still cant enjoy your days. Hawaii does have volcanoes it sounds unsafe but many are inactive, and the one that are active nearly only happen very often within long period of time between eruptions. All these facts about climate are mostly very amazing the only thing to watch out for is the eruptions of volcanoes but if you need to evacuate the island you will be told before anything extreme happens if it is suppose to

The exact nature of the encounters between Captain James Cook and the Polynesian natives of Hawaii as well as all interactions and exchanges between Europeans and native Polynesian peoples of the Pacific while Cook was exploring the islands of Hawaii and after has been investigated by anthropologists and historians for many years.
