The Hawaiian Republic, or Republic of Hawaii (Hawaiian: Repubalika o Hawaii), is a country located in the Hawaiian Islands. The country was formed in 1795 as a kingdom, when the warrior chief Kamehameha the Great, of the independent island of Hawaiʻi, conquered the independent islands of Oʻahu, Maui, Molokai and Lānaʻi and unified them under one government. In 1810, the whole Hawaiian archipelago became unified when Kauaʻi and Niʻihau joined the Hawaiian Kingdom voluntarily. Two major dynastic families ruled the kingdom: the House of Kamehameha and the House of Kalākaua.
In 1893 the Committee of Public Safety overthrew the Kingdom of Hawaii Queen Liliʻuokalani after she rejected the 1887 Bayonet Constitution.
in 1941 Hawaii was invaded by the Japanese during WWII causing the US and Mexico to join the war due there being US naval ships at the time of the invasion and due a Japanese fleet getting the wrong coordinates and mistaking a Mexican Harbor for Pearl Harbor. In 1947 due to suffering after the War, a communist revolution happened. With the Help of the US the government was able to beat the communist rebels in 1948.
