The history of the flag of Hawaii



The story of how he conceived the Hawaiian flag is very interesting. Although historians can not agree on the exact details, we know that Kamehameha the Great (Kamehameha I) was responsible for its conception.

We can better understand the meanings behind the Hawaiian flag learn a little about the King who oversaw its creation. Kamehameha I ruledsuccessfully, creating a single sovereign nation and securing recognition from the major world powers. Before the King Kamehameha I rule, the individual islands were ruled by various chiefs. King Kamehameha I was a skilled warrior with the idea to conquer and unite the eight major Hawaiian Islands.

The King was a determined ruler, dedicated to protecting the welfare and sovereignty of its people. Theforeigners are not allowed to intervene in the politics of the islands, but played very well the role of ambassador and strove to build peaceful and harmonious partnership. His ability to be a symbol of goodwill helped the Hawaiian Islands to become a major center for industry - during his reign, the fur trade, sandalwood, coffee exports and pineapple (pineapple) was undoubtedly a good start.

Relationswith Britain - and the position of that nation as a protectorate - were very important to King Kamehameha I. In 1793, a portion of the island was ceded to Britain in communication with Captain Vancouver, a deal that was never really implemented by the British. Some say that today the Hawaiian flag was created taking into account the Union Flag (Union Jack) and the American flag. The Hawaiian flagis seen as a cross between the U.S. flag and the British flag. When the flag of the new Kingdom of Hawaii was filed, the United Kingdom, France, the U.S. and Japan gave its official recognition of the icon.
