How does Hawaiian culture change when white settlers arrive?

History
1 answer:
Triss [41]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Modern Hawai'i, like its colonial overlord, the United States of America, is a settler society. Our Hawaiian people, now but a remnant of the nearly one million Natives present at contact with the West in the 18th century, live at the margins of our island society. Less than 20% of the current population in Hawai'i, our Native people have suffered all the familiar horrors of contact: massive depopulation, landlessness, christianization, economic and political marginalization, institutionalization in the military and the prisons, poor health and educational profiles, increasing diaspora.

When the United States military invaded our archipelago in 1893 and overthrew our constitutional monarchy, our fate as an outpost of the American empire was sealed. Entering the U.S. as a Territory in 1900, our country became a white planter outpost, providing missionary-descended sugar barons in the islands and imperialist Americans on the continent with a military watering hole in the Pacific.

Today, Hawaiians continue to suffer the effects of haole (white) colonization. Our language was banned in 1896, resulting in several generations of Hawaiians, including myself, whose only language is English. Our lands and waters have been taken for military bases, resorts, urbanization and plantation agriculture.

Under foreign control, we have been overrun by settlers: missionaries and capitalists, adventurers and, of course, hordes of tourists, nearly seven million by 1998.

PLS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In four to five sentences compare and contrast citizens' rights in China and India.
FromTheMoon [43]

China is superior to India in many ways.

  • Unemployment rate is higher (4,5% in China and 3,4% in India).
  • China has a striking high proportion of women workers; their labour force participation is more than twice that of their Indian peers.
  • China’s literacy rate has reached a remarkable level, especially given that people must learn characters rather than an alphabet. Over 96% of the population are literate - compared to just over 71% in India.
  • China is notorious for its lack of press freedom. But Reporters Without Borders suggests that India has plenty of problems too.
  • A baby born in China can expect to live for nine years longer than one born in India.
  • India has a split society in terms of race and religion. People are being killed for eating beef, foreigners are attacked for difamation of temples.

How might a strong, organized empire defend its frontier
Allushta [10]

Answer:

A strong and organized empire should also be able to have a strong and very organized army. This means they would most likely populate their frontier with settlers and station armies there to defend the frontier. The army would be a professional one made from highly skilled and dedicated soldiers that would be able to repel any opposing threat.

How did the conquest of new lands most directly contribute to economic growth?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The conquest of new lands directly contributed to the economic growth of nations since through territorial expansion new territories were acquired that included within themselves enormous amounts of natural resources.

Thus, for example, the territorial expansion of Spain during the conquest of America allowed the Spanish Empire access to precious metals and different grains that contributed to the economic development of the nation and the well-being of its citizens.

Another example is that of the United States, which after the annexation of California was able to exploit the enormous gold reserves that were in the territory of the State.
