[edit] Hawaii
Technically Hawaii isn't in the Americas. I might that part, but that is an interesting fact. --Kraftlos 02:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hawaii isn't in North America... I think that's what I meant by that previous comment... --Kraftlos (talk) 07:27, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Took this off the page.
In 1815, Dr. Schäffer, a Russian entrepreneur, went to Kauai and negotiated a treaty of protection with the island's governor Kaumualii, vassal of King Kamehameha I of Hawaii, but the Russian Tsar refused to ratify the treaty. See also Orthodox Church in Hawaii and Russian Fort Elizabeth[1].
Might want to move it to a Hawaii-related article. --Kraftlos (talk) 23:03, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
