Hawaii
Hawaii is a state that attracts tourists because of its history, geography,
entertainment, and culture. It is well known for its volcanoes, beaches, and climate. For
these reasons, tourism is the main thing Hawaii is known for.
Hawaii was recordivly discovered on January 18, 1778, by 2 explorers, James
Cook and Captain Clerke. They went to the shore of Kealakekua Bay, where they were
greeted by cheering natives. Later, a native stole one of their boats, so Cook and some
marines were going to take the king hostage. The king didn’t object to this, but the
natives did. There was a brief battle, but by the end of it, Cook was dead, (The Antarctic

The King of Hawaii was King Kamehameha. The year was 1810. Hawaiian chiefs
from the islands Oahu, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Hawaii, vowed their alliance to him.
When Cook discovered Hawaii, map-makers began putting Hawaii on maps. The bad
thing was, with new people, came new disease. The Black Plague that had swept
through Europe was brought over to Hawaii and the one million people who occupied
Hawaii, went down to three hundred thousand. Many other viruses or colds that were
not bad on the other continents, were devastating to the people on Hawaii.

suddenly they didn’t have anything. Many countries tried to take control of the islands,
by building schools and churches, and also farming. In 1900, America made Hawaii a
territory of the United States.
A big surprise came on December 7, 1941. A surprise attack on Hawaii’s Pearl
Harbor from the Japanese devastated that part of Hawaii. Many people had to start all
over, because of this movement as a result from World War II. About 2,500 Americans
and about 60 Japanese, (although it is tough to figure out how many Japanese), people
died at this site.
After rebuilding from the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii took a turn for the
better. In 1959, Hawaii became part of the United States of America. This did wonders
for the economy, (as far as plantation farming for sugar and pineapples).
It also saw
more people coming in as a fact of tourism. In 1959, two hundred forty three thousand
people visited Hawaii, (Borreca A10).
No one would’ve ever expected the now five million people a year tourist industry.
People go there to see historical site such as Pearl Harbor.
