Three forts being built on the islands is "no ambitions"?Britain and France are the most likely candidates. Dunno about Spain, their colonial empire was already waning. Maybe Japan if they got lucky. Definitely not Russia, they had no ambitions to grab any tropical islands in the Pacific.

But...surely they would bring their own beer with them.![]()
There was no beer in Shandong either before the Germans arrived. Before the Germans built the colonial governor's mansion, they built the Tsingtao Brewery. Seems they had their priorities right, since Tsingtao Brewery is still producing beer to this day.
There’s a theory that the Hawaiians did see Spanish ships sailing between North America and the Philippines, so there is potential for early contact.
Butterflies down the line from that, make figuring out what would happen much more tricker.
