    Kamehameha had united Hawaii under his rule. But what to do with such power? Simple: make life better for his people.

    What a good example for the problems of dictatorship and monarchy: You can be the most able king ever and your advisors the best you could want, but once you're dead, you better have a capable heir or everything you achieved may fall apart. But if you have to many heirs.. well... Europe knows that story.

      james turd you must not know much then, Japan was the only nation to protest the American occupation of Hawai’i. Hawai’i was on track to becoming an economic powerhouse in the pacific and now is a backwater state with failing infrastructure and corrupt politics.
      A Japanese invasion would not have been needed, Hawai’i wanted to be allied with Japan in fear of western occupation.

    • @romannasuti25
      @romannasuti25 5 лет назад +5

      One critical thing: They *kinda* live on mini-reservations (homesteads), although it's an opt-in and are generally well-protected locally. They certainly would've been better off under Britain, as the royalty of Hawaii did what they thought would protect their people and would've maintained the power to do so if they became part of the United Kingdom. They were certainly well-loved in British court, to such a point that Hawaiian royalty could've been part of the House of Lords and their representatives in the House of Commons, therefore the Hawaiian islands wouldn't be territory of, but rather a (quite powerful) member of the United Kingdom. Had history taken a different path, Hawaiians would have British passports and would've voted on Brexit...

    Molokai then went on to become an island where lepres were banished to. It remained fairly unknown, until the Flemish (Belgian) priest Jozef De Veuster landed there. He was admired by even the Protestants and eventually declared a Saint by the Catholics under the name 'Pater Damiaan' - Father Damian.

    • @gekkoe808
      @gekkoe808 6 лет назад +50

      You actually did the pronunciation of Hawai'i reasonably well. You used the shortened common pronunciation that sounds like Hawa'i, but that's not bad. Note the ' between the i'i or a'i. That's like the sound we make in English when we say uh oh. It's called an 'okina and it's the second most common consonant in the Hawaiian language after K. You also did it right with Ka'ahumano. Unfortunately you entirely skipped that 'okina entirely in words like Moloka'i, O'ahu, and Lana'i. It's a common mistake, but it'd be about like leaving a ck sound out of backing and saying ba-ing. Kinda doesn't work...

He also remembers Hawaiian names way better than I do, so I'll ask him for driving directions sometimes.

      He had been using the British Merchant flag with the union jack in the corner and a red field as his banner up to that points since it was gifted to him by Vancouver in 1791. The "Bostonians" advised him to change the flag so he changed the rest of the field to the stripes while keeping the Union Jack for continuity and the power of 'protection' since at the time Britannia ruled the waves. That loyalty was latter rewarded when during the Paulet affair (1843) they let the Kingdom remain independent instead of using it as precursor to outright annexation.

    3:34 - "The new system also granted *use* of the land rather than *ownership*."
    Ah I see, so that's where the current gaming industry got their ideas of "licensing" their games to those who buy them, rather than granting ownership.

      I believe this is still how Hawaiian land is run. Land isn't "sold" like it is in the continental US but instead extremely long term leases are sold.

    • @watcherzero5256
      @watcherzero5256 6 лет назад +3

      Leasehold, feudal practise in Medieval England that's still in use today. A farmer to earn a few extra bucks will partition part of his land in to plots, build houses then sell the houses while retaining ownership of the land itself.

      It's possible to buy the land under your building, there it's called "fee simple".

    • @watcherzero5256
      @watcherzero5256 6 лет назад +2

      Fee Simple was abolished in the UK in 1925, replaced by the Land Registration Act 1925 which itself was replaced by the Land Registration Act 2002. Essentially makes it compulsory to register your interest or easement on a national register whenever the property changes hands and then its yours in perpetuity. Church of England has recently been mass registering every medieval easement it can find in its archive so that it owns Shale gas deposits under its property since in medieval times the church traditionally owned mineral rights.

      It got pretty messed up during the colonial / plantation era, but still has some real merit for a handful of islands in the middle of the Pacific. Land is a pretty limited resource here, especially when you're talking about arable land.
      Oh, there are also some social institutions, most notable being the Kamehameha Schools, which get their funding from a royal land-usage-grant. A bit like land-grant universities on the mainland.
      PS: Don Reynolds: A bunch of cities in SoCal were built on land long-term leased from the Irvine Ranch. Even as anti-monarchy as I am, use rights given by a sovereign makes more sense to me than a 200+ year old privately held corporation doing essentially the same thing. Talk about "rent taking".

    Hawaii, and Polynesian societies as a whole (looking at you, Gate-Pa), deserve so much better than the hand they were dealt. Their capabilities in the face of adversity and a changing world are a bloody modern legend, and their achievements should should be sung in history forever.

    Kamehameha is known in Argentina for being one of the first heads of state to recognize Argentina (then named "United Provinces of the Rive Plate") as a sovereign state. Apparently, French corsair Hipolite Bouchard, sailing under Argentine flag, came into contact with the Hawaian king and the latter helped him put down a mutiny. As a way of saying thanks, the king was named _Coronel de las Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata_ by Bouchard.

    OH SHIT YOU'RE COVERING THE COUP AND ANNEXATION!!! I kinda thought it this was just covering Kamehameha, not his decedents. Alright, alright, alright...
    Fun Facts: the 1,000 cliff where the last stand took place is called the Pali outlook, one of the most incredible sights you can go to after a half-hour drive from Honolulu. There the wind is so intense, you can throw your slipper into the wind and get smacked by it.
    Other than that, Pele plays a part in the legend of the Pali highway, as she will not allow any pork to cross the area (inland only?). Today, driving with pork on the highway can cause your car to stall and shut off for offending Pele.
    The Kapu system is still in place in Hawaii, as any ruins of Hawaiian settlements or structures are considered sacred and thus forbidden to be trespassed on. And trust me when I say, if the locals don't give you hell, the spine tingling fear you get from crossing into it will prevent you from crossing into those sites.

    • @AlohaKavebear

      Something like the Kapu system is pretty much the way law worked everywhere at some point. Government = sovereign = religion, so religious edicts are law and visa versa. Love Hawaii, but Kapu seems bad for the same reason as Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Arguably a bit worse since it had the nobility and aristocracy are mostly above the law crap too (could also be described as a caste system).
      Anyways, not something to be too smug about "looking down on", but also not something we should pretend was good just because of "heritage".
