History - Hawaii

Hawaii's history is rich and complex, beginning with Polynesian settlers who arrived over a thousand years ago. The islands were united under King Kamehameha I in the early 19th century, establishing a monarchy that lasted until the late 1800s.

In 1898, Hawaii was annexed by the United States, leading to significant cultural and political changes. The islands became a state in 1959, and today, Hawaii is known for its diverse culture, blending native Hawaiian traditions with influences from Asia and the mainland United States.
