During the century of its existence, the kingdom offered its native peoples considerable protection. For example, in the later 1800s, several thousands of Pacific islanders were, in effect, kidnapped and forced to serve as indentured laborers in places like the Guano Islands in Peru and plantations in Queensland in the nefarious practice called Blackbirding. The kingdom offered literacy, converted its people to Christianity, and accommodated its people to the intrusive outside world. The achievement of establishing the kingdom belongs to an outstanding warrior king, Kamehameha the Great.Kamehameha is probably the single most important figure in Hawaiis history. His life bracketed a time when Hawaii was its own world, and its people were unaware of the existence of anywhere outside the archipelago to when Hawaii was inseparably joined to the world economy. A pivotal year was 1778 when the British exploring expedition under the famous Captain Cook discovered the islands. Cook was killed in 1779 by Hawaiians in a brawl based on mutual misunderstandings. Kamehameha was there, and he quickly realized the utility of firearms and cannons and used them in his conquest. He had two English captives who became close advisors and helped smooth Hawaiis transition from an isolated island group to a participant in the Pacific world.The intrusion of the outside world was inevitable, epic, and destructive. The islands total population at the time of Cooks discovery is unknown, but it is variously estimated to be between 300,000 to 1,000,000 at the point of contact in 1778....108538Kingdom of Hawaii, The: The History of the Hawaiian State Before It Was Annexed by America143143https://www.gandhi.com.mx/kingdom-of-hawai-i-the-the-history-of-the-hawaiian-state-before-it-was-annexed-by-america/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1670514/b47b596b-08b6-49fc-bbe7-6e17fd8eb664.jpg?v=638338594761670000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20229781669618812_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9781669618812_The Hawaiian kingdom existed for about a century, from the early 1790s to 1893, starting when King Kamehameha finally united the islands and lasting until American planters and businessmen staged a coup and forced Queen Liliuokulani to abdicate.
