Histoire : L'archipel fut découvert par Cook (1778) qui y fut assassiné l'année suivante. [...] Kamehameha 1er parvint à conquérir presque tout l'archipel en 1795. [...] La république fut instituée, et l'annexion aux États-Unis fut un fait accompli en 1898. Le développement économique, l'utilisation de l'île comme base américaine, le développement des transports maritimes, puis aériens avec la Californie firent la fortune d'Hawaï, mais en firent aussi la cible des Japonais en 1941 (Pearl Harbor). L'accession au rang d'État, différée par la guerre de Corée (1950), fut votée en 1959. 7, record 2, French, - Hawa%C3%AF
