[edit] Article now redirected here

A previous article Hawaii Territory, now a redirect to this, said in its entirety:

"The Hawaii Territory was a territory of the United States from February 22, 1900 to 1959. It joined the United States following the abolition of the Hawaiian monarchy, during the brief existence of the Republic of Hawaii.

"During World War II the Hawaii Territory was governed by the United States military.

"On August 21, 1959 Hawaii was granted statehood, and became the 50th U.S. state."

Note the disagreement about the starting date.

[edit] Confusion about dates of establishment

The Territory of Hawai'i was established by the Newlands Resolution signed by both chambers of Congress on 7 July 1898. The law legally ceded all Hawaiian lands to United States sovereignty thus establishing the territorial entity. This is the date officially adopted as the establishment date by the State of Hawai'i, the Princess Pauahi Bishop Museum and the United States Congress. It is the date taught in all mandatory Modern Hawaiian History curricula taught in Hawai'i public schools.

The date of establishment is often confused, especially by mainland United States residents, as being 22 February 1900 or some other date falling within the year. This was the date of passage of the Hawaiian Organic Act, more formally known as An Act to Provide a Government for the Territory of Hawai'i which merely codified a system of government for the already existing entity called the Territory of Hawai'i.

[edit] Delisted GA

This article did not go through the current GA nomination process. Looking at the article as is, it fails on criteria 2b of the GA quality standards. No references are provided and the citation of sources is essential for verifiability. Most Good Articles use inline citations. I would recommend that this be fixed, to reexamine the article against the GA quality standards, and to submit the article through the nomination process. --RelHistBuff 12:24, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hawai‘i

Was the Territory of Hawai‘i a incorporated territory, like other former territories on the North American continent before statehoods were granted? — Instantnood 13:09, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
