It was in 1898 that President William McKinley annexed Hawaii into the United States. It was in this same year that the Spanish American War broke out. The united states found strategies using the naval base at Pearl Harbor. Congress was convinced to approve formal annexation of Hawaii. In 1900 Hawaii was made a territory with Dole as its first governor.
Hawaii was admitted into the states via the Admission Act. The Admission Act provides a way of admission of a state into the union and was enacted by the United States Congress and signed into law via President Dwight D. Eisenhower
In 1959 became the 50th state. Hawaii officially became the fiftieth state on August 21, 1959. As one of the smallest states it is the only sate that is made up entirely of islands. The islands are the tops of volcanoes, some of which are still active.

ReplyDeleteNice informative post I would love to visit Hawaii one day. I used to watch this programme called Hawaii five o and I can still remember the big surf.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that Hawai was one of the smallest states and the only one US state to be made up entirely of islands that is so cool !
ReplyDeleteMy good friend used to live in Hawaii and from what she was telling me about it it sounded like a paradise! Definitely on my bucket list! x
ReplyDeleteGood to know about the history of fiftieth state Hawaii. I've seen Hawaii in movies and I just loved the beaches and lifestyle of it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise Hawaii was such a new state to the US. The islands are gorgeous and somewhere I'd love to visit one day.
ReplyDeleteVery nice info and I have to say, your blog feels so cozy!I knew it was entirely made out of islands, but not that it was the smallest state. Hawai is on my future to go bucket list, and it has been for a while!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it always so hard for me to remember how late their entry was into the States? Wow.
ReplyDeleteThis is really interesting, we never really studied much American history and I didn't realise how late it was when Hawaii joined the USA.
