The most common response I see in “no American Hawaii ” threads is that the British would have taken it.
Let’s say colonisation takes place as a result of the Paulet affair or some other conquest/puppetisation.
My question is, how would Hawaii develop socially as a result, would the Hawaiian monarchy/nobility be removed totally from influence or used as intermediaries. Would a treaty of waitangi type compromise be made with the locals.
Additionally would most migrants be of Indian descent Because I don’t see Hawaii as a particularly good target for white British settlers. Is Fiji a good example of a Pacific colony that Hawaii would develop along the lines of?
