A Brief History of Hawaii

Hawaii, an archipelago of stunning islands surrounded by the vast Pacific Ocean, is a land of deep cultural traditions and rich history. A Brief History of Hawaii offers a captivating exploration of the islands' journey from ancient Polynesian settlement to its modern-day status as the 50th state of the United States.

This book delves into the early migrations that brought Polynesians to Hawaii, the rise of powerful Hawaiian kingdoms, and the arrival of European explorers that forever changed the course of the islands' history. Discover the dramatic events of the late 19th century, including the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, its annexation by the U.S., and its role during World War II.

Whether you're drawn to Hawaii's indigenous culture, its colonial history, or its contemporary significance, A Brief History of Hawaii offers a concise yet comprehensive look at the events and people that have shaped this paradise into the state it is today.
