A Brief History of Hawaii
Sixty million years ago, Hawaii began as a "hot spot"—a protruding lump of molten rock winding down to the earth's iron core. Rock melted, turned to magma, broke through the earth's crust as lava and voila: Hawaii. From there early settlement appears to have began around 900 A.D., and continued until Captain James Cook jump started the so-called modern era of Hawaii. In no time at all, Hawaii would become a hub for foreigners, from voyagers to missionaries to whaling and merchant seamen.
By the mid 1800s sugar production took off and with it, Hawaii's cosmopolitan prosperity. It wasn't long before the super-power scramble for control began. In 1893, Hawaiian planters, backed by the U.S. Marines, overthrew the Kingdom of Hawaii, and in 1898 the US annexed the islands, naming them a territory of the United States. Japanese forces struck Pearl Harbor in 1941, launching America into World War II, although Hawaii would not become a U.S. state for another 18 years, in 1959.
These days, however, Hawaii remains as a gathering place. Gathering of people, of nature, of activities. You name it. How many places can you enjoy all the comforts and amenities of modern luxury and the raw beauty of lush nature?
