Kamehameha the Great is born under the weight of prophecy, and he duly sets about fulfilling his destiny. As the Hawaiian islands navigate early contact with the outside world, Kamehameha harnesses foreign weapons and warrior tradition to conquer the island of Hawaii and unite all of the other islands under his Kingdom of Hawaii.

Love these videos and the art is just the bomb. If MTG would do a historical set, they need to hire yall for the art.
I love your videos! Goosebumps everytime..
Just can’t deal with this dude’s voice. It’s like my stoner younger brother is putting on a presentation. Can’t take anything he says seriously
Can we get art of the volcano scene?
More immersive stories about the rise of various conquerors and rulers, please. Nothing beats a classic rise to power.
This is where Dragon Ball Z gets it’s Kamehameha from! Toriyama (the author) wanted to include the Japanese word Kame in the title of the move, which means turtle (a reference to the character that develops the move). Toriyama’s wife was aware of some Hawaiian history, and suggested this name. So this whole time, DBZ characters have been shouting the name of a Hawaiian king 👑
Yes.
That could be why Muten Roshi lives on a small tropical island and wears a Hawaiian shirt.
Not A Hawaiian king..
I thought it was because Kane is turtle in Japanese
@@urbnctrl yes
As a native to Kauai, I'm surprised and ecstatic that some1 has taken time to dive into the deeper history rather than the skimmed overview written in the history books. It's channels like these that make the world informed and whole

As a proud Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiian) I want to thank you for this beautiful depiction of Hawaiian history. You’re the first person I’ve ever seen take the time to talk about Hawaiian history, mahalo nui loa. You have a lifetime subscriber now. Appreciate you.
I teach American history and taught about the annexation of Hawaii yesterday to my 8th period. It’s weird sometimes how life can have many similar events happen at the same time. Who would of thought my favorite historical narrative channel would have a video about the EXACT same subject I just taught. Life is crazy in many ways, right?
That's cool! Since it follows the establishment of the Kingdom of Hawaii, this video will be pre-annexation, but if folks are keen we'd love to do a follow-up on the annexation and statehood of Hawaii
@@HistoryDose Id love it, i know nothing about hawaii, it could be dope to get some insight
God bless you brother. Teach our children well…
I haven't watched the video yet, but if it's appropriate, you should show your students! I remember stumbling onto this channel wishing it existed when I was going thru school. I feel like the storytelling and artwork would draw an interest in students.
@@DB-ms2td I don’t think it matters if it’s “appropriate” or not.
It’s education, you can’t censor history for modern sensibilities otherwise how are people to know how far we’ve come?
What's even scarier is that Hawaiian Chiefs don't let their ʻahuʻula (feather cape) touch the ground, and Kamehameha's cape is long and big enough to put him around 7 feet tall. There are even stories of him flipping the Naha stone, a sheet of lava rock weighing around 2.5 tons. A Chief that flipped the rock over, was said to become conquer of all the islands, basically the same as the sword in the stone. Legend has it that when he was born a "white rainbow" came down from the heavens, most likely Crepuscular rays (What happens when light shines through clouds). Dude was built different.
It's entirely possible he was a huge dude, but he did not flip a 2.5 ton boulder by himself. A rhino couldn't do that, I doubt even an elephant could manage that. If he was around 7ft tall though he would have been a giant compared to those around him considering people were considerably shorter back then.
@@WhatIsSanity it’s recorded multiple times that he did
@@bronstonmahelona7676
I don't doubt it's recorded.
@@WhatIsSanity an elephant would have absolutely no problem in flipping a 2.5t strone. Rhino would do it too. A man?? It depends, he might have used some sort of leverage for that and the records just doesn't mention that
@@WhatIsSanity also people were not "shorter back then" it's a common misconception" peoples height on average fluctuates, for example people were taller 40 000 years ago on average than they are now, they were taller in middle ages than in 16th century. But it all really depends on a region, diet of people at that time etc. An average height started rising about 300 years ago, but for different regions it may have decrease. Still as a 7ft tall guy he was definitely considered huge

This and every video talks about my seven time grandfather Kamehameha 1 and my Hawaiian name is Kahoalii and it means friends of the Chief and friends of the king and I’m an Ali’i as well and im blood 🩸 related to Kamehameha 1 and so I got the Hawaiian gods watching me too and everywhere I go I wear the Niho Lei Paola and so by blood 🩸 and because of my name I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and my seven time grandfather said serve me or die and so this video talks about my seven time grandfather Kamehameha 1 and his early wife Kanekapolei is my seven time grandmother and his other 30 wives are my seven time step grandmothers and his kids are my great uncles and Kamehameha 4th’s wife Queen Emma is my great Aunty and I am an Ali’i too and I am the seventh grandson of Kamehameha 1 and my Hawaiian blood 🩸 is related to Kamehameha 1 and so I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and so I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and his early wife Kanekapolei is my seven time grandmother and his other 30 wives are my seven time step grandmothers and so I know he’s watching over me as well same with the Hawaiian gods and I am the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 so I’m responsible for the Aina (Land) and so my Hawaiian name is Kahoalii meaning (Friends of the king) , and (Friends of the Chief) so I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and we killed James Cook because he brought war on us and his men got our ladies on Kauai and Ka’ahumanu is my seven time step grandmother and so your half wrong because Davis was helping my Seven time grandfather same with John young so your wrong because we only killed James Cook and his men but Issac Davis and John Young we did not kill and I’m Native Hawaiian and I’m a Prince of Hawaii and I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and so your half wrong about us because Issac Davis and John Young we never killed because they taught us Hawaiians Military Tactics wrong we took the guns from James Cook and men and we took James Cooks Mana his Spiritual energy his power so we never killed Issac Davis because my seven time grandfather protected him and so my seven time grandfather Kamehameha 1 protected Issac Davis and John Young we Hawaiians Protected and so your half wrong because I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and his 30 wives are my step grandmothers his first wife Kanekapolei is my seven time grandmother and so my seven time grandfather Kamehameha 1 never killed Issac Davis with Poison and so we never killed Issac Davis and John Young because they helped us and taught us Military Tactics and I’m part of the Royal Family so your half wrong about the history of my seven time grandfather Kamehameha 1 because we never killed Issac Davis and John Young because Both of them Issac Davis and John Young helped us Hawaiians so your half wrong

As a half Hawaiian living on the 9th island I always feel like my Hawaiian heritage has been concealed and held back from me. I love channels like these that help me understand my heritage better.
I encourage you to drop blood quantum and embrace all parts of your heritage. Blood quantum has eugenics all through it. Our ancestors fought hard to have us here in the future. And they're so proud of you. You're their legacy
You live on Nihoa? That’s the 9th island. Last I heard people haven’t lived there for hundreds of years.
as someone who grew up in hawai’i and is of hawaiian descent, it’s great to see someone taking time to share our history and educate people on what was left out of the history books 🤙🏽
King Kamehameha conquered ALL of Hawaii with only a 10,000 strong army. When his enemies saw his force they proclaimed "IT'S OVER 9,000!!!
Same. The people here are really mature 🥲.
yep finally .
Right😂
@@thatguykundai No we're not. Just keeping a lid on it for the moment😎
A 10,000 strong army armed with modern (at that time) weapons including rifles, cannons, and western military advisors.
At the same time, the chiefs on the other island he fought in battle to "unite" the Hawaiian islands had none of these things in their possession.
So not too surprising that he was able to make them all submit to his rule through the use of force (well it was either that or die, which many of them actually chose to do!).
Born and raised in Hawaii and I never learned about the history of Kamehameha in such detail. The things I learned was very sugar coated... this was very eye opening!!
Oh sure same for mainland.......never taught the true history and only lies. DOE makes a mes s anykine everywhere they touch down on. Corrupt they steal cultures starting early on with keiki
Being born and raised in Hawaii most pepole take hawaiiana in school I’m surprised you dident , it goes into way more depth and information on Hawaiian history then what this channel is providing . This channel is missing a lot of important details and mispronouncing a lot of names , but it’s the effort that makes me appreciate him , respect .
@@ShaneHenriques bra fr went waipahu for school for all my schooling and they only ever talked about hawaiian history in intermediate and high school
As a maōri from Aotearoa, I find this video awesome and educating. I've learnt more about my Hawaiian whanau and how alike we really are, Kia Ora to all the maoli out there. Shaka
As someone who was born and raised in Hawaii, I am really excited to see this video.
I wasn't born in Hawaii, but I was raised there and taught about Hawaiian culture and history from a young age. My Hawaiian teachers always encouraged me to teach others about Hawaii, as on the mainland, the Hawaiian culture and history is very misunderstood. It always makes me happy when I see other people passionate about Hawaii.
@@Anonemus7 Feelings mutual
How accurate was the video?
@@juwonoh2478 Pretty well done. Definitely showed off aspects of old Hawaiian culture correctly. I really liked how Kamehameha was portrayed here. Doesnt overly glorify him and had shown his brutality and shortcomings really well. He is a very revered figure by natives and locals in Hawaii and sometimes overlook some negative aspects of Kamehameha which I do have trouble ignoring. Of course, it has been a while since I have been taught about Hawaiian history. Actually learned some new stuff here too. I am not sure if it is totally 100% accurate. Very few history videos in general are able to get everything correct anyway. Yet, I will say it is a very good portrayal of the formation of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the reign of Kamehameha.
@@juwonoh2478 pretty damn close. A little dramatized, but the best I've seen yet.
Keopuolani is the highest ranking Hawaiian Monarch in hawaiian history. King Kamehameha had to take off his clothes before he could even look in her direction. thank you history dose, i needed this!
She deserves a statue.
As a half Mexican and half Hawaiian person I really loved this history lesson. Mahalo y muchas Gracias
Aloha from Hawaii. Well done! Thank you for the obvious effort put into your amazing video.
I knew absolutely nothing of Hawaii nor have any connection to it, but this narration, music, and artwork literally made me feel like I was there. Most importantly, you have a way capturing the human experience in history that it makes me try to understand more and more.
This is absolutely top notch!
Yeah, this presentation inspires me to visit the historical sites if I were to visit the Hawaiian Islands, not just the natural-focused parks or volcanoes. They look to have great names like Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park (had to copy/paste that, haha).
@Ryan Otte unfortunately, settler colonialism and that very specific kind of tourism has decimated the islands, and Kānaka have been begging tourists to stop coming. but that’s why these videos are so amazing, they allow us to immerse ourselves in places we’ll never go :)
Simply amazing
Those portraits of each of the characters as they appeared were awesome. Love hawaiian and Polynesia history. This is my favorite video from y'all so far
According to Hawaii's King David Kalakauain his book written in 1888, the Kamehameha lineage is traced to Pilikaeae the Ali'i Chief from Samoa. Sorry, it was not Tahiti nor Kauai nor Marquesas, no more confusion from revisionist historians. Don’t believe me , Buy his book. Also fun Fact Sāmoa has An Island Called Savai’i Sounds Familiar ? Sounds A lot Like Hawai’i. Let’s Talk about the Big Island. Mookini Heiau Is the 1st created Temple Created By Pilikaeae the Ali’i chief of Sāmoa who came from Upolu and near the location is the Birthplace of King Kamehameha The Great. Locates In The North which it’s Called Upolu Point.. which Upolu is an Island In Sāmoa. Therefore King Kamehameha is Sāmoan if his lineage comes from the Ali’i Chief of Sāmoa Pilikaeae accordingly to David Kalakaua the Last King Of Hawai’i.
@@e2dwf976 Truth be told, the Hawaiian and Samoan ancestry lies in Maluku. The Ali'ifuru tribes there are the Melanesian - Malayo Polynesian predate the Polynesians by 20.000 years and invented the outrigger canoe which developed into the Kora Kora (Catamaran) ocean sailer. Our languages are clearly a proto Polynesian branch mixture of the indigenous melanesian and austronesian mix. We have an island which has a capitol called MAKARIKI where since ancient times people gather to celebrate the turn of the year, do you know that name?
Bloody and gory history.
I've lived my whole life in Hawaii but most of the story of Kamehameha I never knew. Those times were even more brutal than I thought they were and more recent than I thought also, very informative, amazing video.
The art, the story telling, the energy. I love this so much. As a native Hawaiian, thank you both.
As a Filipino, seeing the stories and history of my Polynesian cousins being brought to life in these incredible videos is just awesome. Perhaps you can do one about one about another legendary warrior and chief, Lapu Lapu of Mactan, who defeated the forces of Ferdinand Magellan?
Yes, Joe and I will definitely get to Filipino history sooner or later. We’re both one quarter Filipino from our maternal grandfather
+1 for Filipino history. Great content History Dose! Love all the videos you put out.
@@HistoryDose Hell yeah! 🇵🇭 I’m Filipino and Visayan and I approve this message
@@HistoryDose Is there any place I can find the background music by itself? If not, can it be posted on this channel or a separate one, please? Thanks in advance.
Hell yeah. Filipino warriors and the amazing Filipino people difinitely earned and deserve their space in Pacific Island history. Would love more content on my Pacific Island cousins.
It’s a little poetic that such a beautiful and Eden-like Hawai’i isles has so much warfare and brutal violence going on on them.
Humans just like to fight lol
Granted they are sitting on a very violent volcano so its really fitting
Lol Eden like ? This is ghetto paradise hawaii ain’t as beautiful as much like to think I’ve lived here my whole life and every year you see our islands become more and more destroyed by developers
@@Alex-dd2ty Do you know what the state bird of Hawaii is?
The crane!
@@bryanjackson8917 that's funny and terrible
It's funny how Kamehameha saw that his sandal wood strategy was hurting his people so he did something about it. Imagine if our leaders today did anything like that.
They don't see it as their problem, and if worse comes to worse they'll just go somewhere else. Kamehameha couldn't go somewhere else and knew if his people died in the pursuit of wealth he would die.
Hold on a second. The whole point of logging sandal wood was so that he, and he alone, could profit. If he was a morally just person he would never have forced them to cut sandalwood in the first place. He didn't stop because he's some sort of great guy, he stopped so that he didn't have an angry and starving populace coming for his throat.
goku.
But was he man enough to accept responses for the atrocities he did commit?
they do things like that all the time. Kamehameha was a brutal dictator and engaged in conquest. If he were European or American you would call him an evil imperialist.
I had never looked at Hawaiian history, and this is my first look and experience at it. Holy hell I did NOT expect such a paradise of islands have a past written in blood
At the time of the Battle of Nuʻuanu, the forces at Kamehameha’s disposal were estimated to be up to 16000, many of whom were armed with muskets supplied by Western traders. By comparison, the contemporary United States Army was less than 3000 strong.
If you look deep enough you will.fibd that my ancestors come from Samoa.
Yes all pacific islands and Maori have a strong warrior culture and been in much war.
Today the Polynesian culture use music and dance to tell these stories as Ancient Polynesia was anything but paradise everything was about blood and power hence the warrior culture that carries on today
Same here
I’m soooo impressed you were able to pronounce everything really well. Good for you. This makes me miss home so much.
Imagine your whole army not dying in battle, but to a damn VOLCANO.
I bet the hawaiians that faced that thought the gods had turned against them.
There was a battlembetween rome and pontus where a meteorite hit the battlefield so they decided not to fight out of respect for the god who sent it
There are footprints stamped in the lava rocks from the battle in kaʻu dessert. Between Kamehemeha and his cousin keōua.
Makes me think of the "divine hurricane" that destroyed the Huns on their way to invade Japan
@Ray Kailiawa Its in the vid I aint ever make it up, go speak to History Dose instead of me.
So... Did Dragonball name the move after this guy?
Kind of! Apparently the creator was looking for a "something-something-HA" sound for an energy attack. His wife jokingly mentioned the name of Hawaii's first king, so he went with it.

We Polynesians are proud warriors at birth. Born as warriors with the blood flowing through us. We are few compared to other races but strong and proud.Polynesian,Native Americans,Indigenous peoples are few now. But we have so much rich history and cultures I'm also indigenous Puerto Rican taino and Cherokee,Egyptian mixed with Hawaiian and Maori.
What a mix
Proud Māori here from Taranaki, Aotearoa. We are another breed of Warriors here as well, im also Scottish, and Portuguese
it's more like the old indigenous lifestyle is fading to a few but the descendants are among us and we may not notice them around our colleagues and circles and community.
As someone who used to live in hawaii it's nice to see someone talking about hawaii'en history
Wow! An absolutely tremendous and stunning portrayal of my people and our very often, unknown history. I am Hawaiian and I have often felt it a shame that my people's history Is flat out ignored. This video gives me hope because I know so many people have been introduced to Hawaiian history and will now go learn more on their own! I love this channel and hope to see many more videos from you!

You make the best art and best storytelling skills and you are making history of my state not that much people make history of King Kamehameha. Thank you very much history dose
This is insane work man. Breath taking
this channel is going from great to brilliant, to better
Mahalo nui for sharing this story of our King Kamehameha and how the kingdom came to be. Aloha!
Hawaiian history is so rich and cool. The story of the Pali or how Valentine's day means something different in Hawaii just hits different after growing up here.
Every new release floors me with how good of quality this channel is. It has every element necessary, from great storylines to great art, from a good pace to solid research to a calm, relaxed voice, it's all stupendous.
This is beautiful! Mahalo🤙🏼

Incredible content yet again! And hats off to Joe, the art is phenomenal, and combined with your narration it brings more life to a part of history often overlooked. Looking forward to whatever you put out next!
Mahalo nui loa. Never would I ever think someone would do such an amazing job telling my peoples ancestors story’s. Thank you so much🤎🤎🤎
thank you History Dose for that beautiful history.
Bro this deserves 10 million views. The whole video is beautiful art and story telling like no other channel I've ever seen.
Truly a world class production. You nailed the pronunciation (from someone born and raised in Hawaii).
Great video, but pronunciation is one of the things missed here. I cringed every time I heard him pronounce the names. (Born/raised and Kanaka)
Love to hear the stories of my ancestors. Went to the lookout and read battle stories about the land. So intriguing
As a hawaiian this is a great representation of our peoples story. This is the best pronunciations from a non hawaiian. Cheers braddah!
yes it is, he may have a few mis pronounces with the names where the w is pronounced as a v, but everything else is spot on, I gotta see this guy do more on hawaii this was great
@@808-PFH-Kanaka-Rights yeah, it funny when he was saying Kīwalaʻō.
@@giiysutsputs ik, I felt bad for the guy, I was like "aaah I really wish he knew about the w being pronounced as a v, but everything else was spot on, cant lie about that
@@808-PFH-Kanaka-Rights yeah
