Kamehameh An Effective Leader

Kamehameha was an effective leader because he was intelligent, he was an effective communicator, and he adapted to new ideas. Throughout his rule, Kamehameha was able to achieve a profitable business, a beautiful island, and a kapu to help future generations prosper. Therefore he was respected, wealthy, and powerful. Kamehameha was able to bring peace to Hawaii in his time, and he created a base for us to work off of. Without Kamehameha the islands would never have been pieced together by a strong

In Ancient Hawaii, King Kamehameha the Great unified the Hawaiian Islands. After Kamehameha unified the islands he rewarded his loyal followers making them chiefs and letting them rule over the land. Then after Kamehameha the Great died his son Kamehameha III did very little to change the land ownership in Hawaii. But Kamehameha III divided the land into two separate categories with the Act of 1848 “The Great Mahele”. There was the Crown Lands that he kept for himself and the Government lands which were to be split between the commoners, government, and the chiefs. The Great Mahele of 1848 had social, political, and economical effects on the Native Hawaiians.

Kamehameha was never going to be an ali’i (ruler) in his life. His life changed when he picked up a dead ali’i body. He acquired mana (power) and began conquering islands through war. Before he knew it, he was in control of all the Hawaiian Islands. Kamehameha was an effective leader because he had good relationships with people and was smart in his actions.

Kamehameha was a strong ali’i that ruled the Hawaiian Islands. He won many battles like the Battle of Kepaniwai and the Battle of Nu’uanu. Kamehameha was trained by Kekuhaupi’o and he was the nephew of Kalaniopu’u. First, Kamehameha was the ruler of Hawai’i, Big Island and then took the islands one by one even though Kamehameha was not next in line to be high chief of any of the islands. Kamehameha was an effective ruler because he was caring and clever.

King Kamehameha was an aware leader who paid close attention to all his islands to make sure that there was no rebellions. King Kamehameha cared about his people and his land and wanted everything to be fair for all his people. King was also aware that foreigners want to take advantage over the Hawaiian islands so he would ask John Young if he thought the trade was a bad choice or a good choice. King Kamehameha being aware helped him in the Royal Monopoly and even put him on the top of the Monopoly. King Kamehameha was an effective leader because he was smart and a strong leader.

Kamehameha was truly an effective leader because he had a caring heart, his responsible to his land and his village, and his trustworthy words. With his characteristics he got villagers to trust him more, he gained a new role a administrator and made new kapus, and gained other governors loyalty with gifting them land. Therefore Kamehameha was an effective leader with all these characteristics. What Kamehameha did for Hawai’i back then was to unify all the lands and today with all the islands unified there is no violence in between the eight

Asoka, Ruthless Conqueror or Enlightened Ruler? Asoka was one of the most powerful rulers that have made both good and bad decisions. Asoka became leader of India during 268 B.C. He is the founding father of India.

King Kamehameha was the first ruler of the Hawaiian Islands. His reign was from July, 1782 to May 8 or 14, 1819 (Chosonkorea.org). Sejong Daewang was the king of the Joseon-dynasty Korea and his reign was from 1418 to 1450 (Chosonkorea.org). The two leaders ruled their land in many similar and different ways. Their behavior while ruling was also similar, yet different in many ways as well. Kamehameha the Great is most known for unifying all the Hawaiian Islands together and Sejong the Great is most known for creating the Korean language (Hangul). Both rulers are still known as leaders who impacted their land and their people. Kamehameha the Great and Sejong the Great were two very effective leaders.

The Great Mahele was a land division in the Hawaiian Islands made by King Kamehameha the Third. The Mahele came about, because the foreigners wanted ownership of land, to start stores and businesses in sugarcane. Foreigners believed that land gave that person power and was a right. The Hawaiians thought the land was owned by the gods The land commission tried to keep the land away from the foreigners, but the foreigners were not satisfied with the small amount of land they were given. By the end of the Great Mahele, most of the land was given to the foreigners. The Great Mahele did not benefit the Hawaiians, because the landowners were not polite to the Hawaiians, and the Hawaiians could not receive the proper crops because of the unfair land division (Star Advertiser).

The Great Mahele started in 1848 because Kamehameha the III knew that the foreigners wanted to gain land, so they would possibly use force to get land. However, he also knew that the Hawaiians needed land and he didn't want the Hawaiians to lose everything because the French had already taken Tahiti by force. So Kamehameha III created the Mahele also known as the land divisions. He divided the land into four categories: land belonging to the king, land belonging to the ali’i, foreigners, and maka’ainana (Borreca). The Mahale was unjustified because laws were broken, Hawaiians had a lack of resources, and they had terrible communication.

When Kamehameha was young there was a prophecy where Kamehameha killed all the ali’i of the Hawaiian Islands, and that Kamehameha would be the ruler. Kamehameha also made peace between the Hawaiian Islands. Along with him he had two foreign advisors John Young and Isaac Davis. Eventually Isaac Davis dies because he finds out that someone is plotting against them so he tries to do something about it, but instead he get’s killed by them. Two reasons why Kamehameha was an effective leader was because he was intelligent in many different ways and because he always showed initiative.

Kamehameha was adopted by his uncle, Kalaniopu’u, when he was only a child. His uncle taught him the basics of warfare and ruling, which Kamehameha used as he was conquering the Hawaiian Islands. In the end, he was successful, being the first person to unite all of the Hawaiian Islands under one control. As an ali’i, he often helped the maka’ainana by helping them plant and harvest crops. Kamehameha was an effective leader because he was a problem solver and he was considerate to others.

Kamehameha was an effective leader because he also cared about his people and the land.What Kamehameha did to help the people and the land was, he put a royal monopoly on the young Sandalwood trees. This helped to protect the sandalwood trees, so that the Sandalwood would not die out. This was a new thing that was put in place after the unification. This was a good Kapu, because it would help to keep the Sandalwood trees alive and it would also protect the Hawaiians trading supply of Sandalwood because a lot of what the Hawaiians traded to foreigners was Sandalwood. The sandalwood trade was important because they got a lot of things that they never had before, from the Sandalwood Trade.

Kamehameha was an Effective Leader because he adapted new ideas like during the Salwood trades he used John Young to oversea all the trades. Kamehameha learned about port fees while traveling and began to do some in Hawaii. Kamehameha also respect people. He help rebuild. He set an example of rebuilding Taro. Battle of Mokuohai was fought between Kiwalao and Kamehameha. Ths battle occurred because chiefs of Hawaii didn’t like the way Kiwalao divided the lands when he became ruler. Kamehameha unified 8 Hawaii Islands and became king. After Kamehameha died, all royal controls on the Salwood triades.

This steered early beliefs regarding the creation of Japanese islands and the universe at large. It is at this juncture that the first beings, the Kami (Japanese gods), and other such symbolic claims are introduced.[ Andrew Barshay, “Archaic Society: Basic Patterns.” Lecture, University of California Berkeley, August 31, 2017. ] Based on the myth about the gods’ creation and action that record in Kojiki, we can see there is no a Kami could totally dominant everything. According to Kojiki, even after Paya-susa-no-wo-no-mikoto created a disturbance, became more flagrant, and scared the healvenly weaving maiden and made her died, the supreme ruler of Takama-no-papra, Ama-terasu-opo-mi-kami, did not punish or even reprove him. [ Kojiki, trans. D. Phillippi (Tokyo: Tokyo University Press, 1968), p. 79-80.. ]Although the eight-hundred myriad deities made a decision that expelled him from Takama-no-para, Paya-susa-no-wo-no-mikoto was still not charged with anything.[ Kojiki, trans. D. Phillippi (Tokyo: Tokyo University Press, 1968), p. 85-86.] I believe it reflects the speciality of the interpersonal relationships in the Japanese earlier period, which the emperors have relatively stronger power but is still lack the ability to rule the all clans. The emperors attached importance to coordinate and wanted to achieve unify without using the
