Conquest of Hawaii

Films for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) (Added Author). Films Media Group (Added Author).

Summary: The Hawaiian Islands were created in a crucible of tectonic fire in the midst of a watery wilderness so vast that until the beginning of the 20th century they were the remotest place on the planet. This A&E Special takes a broad view of the watershed moments in Hawaiian history, from discovery, to first contact with outsiders, to unification of the islands into a sovereign kingdom, to an act of war that led to Hawaii's annexation by the United States. As Hawaii's ancient culture reemerges as a powerful sociopolitical force in the 21st century, will America's 50th state reassert its claim to independence?
