CURIOUS ABOUT HOW HAWAI`I SUPPOSEDLY BECAME A US STATE ?
The United States acquired Hawai`i through force.
Queen Lili'uokalani, Hawai`i's last Queen, was deposed on Jan. 17, 1893, by a group of American businessmen supported by the United States Navy and Marine Corps and diplomatic representatives.
Sovereignty of Hawai`i was allegedly transferred to the U.S. on Aug. 12, 1898 during ceremonies at Iolani Palace in Honolulu, on the island of Oahu.
Hawai`i allegedly became a U.S. territory in 1900.
On Nov. 23, 1993, The United States apologized for illegally overthrowing the Kingdom of Hawai`i, and recognized the inherent sovereignty and right of self-determination of native islanders.
Needless to say, a lot of shady events took place between Jan. 17,1893 and Aug. 21, 1959.
Hawaiian sovereignty is a hot issue in the islands to this day and likely will be for as long as the United States flag flies over Hawai`i.
History Clearly Shows The Hawaiian Nation Wasn't Annexed It Was Stolen!
