50 years before Pearl Harbor?
Americans remember the 7 December 1941
surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. But 50 years prior, the USA was just one of
many major nations enjoying treaties of friendship & commerce with the
militarily-neutral Hawaiian Kingdom.
US support for violent overthrow, aggressive colonization, and property
confiscation (esp. lands taken for the US military) makes very many Hawaiians
unhappy. Today.
