Found this interesting little historical nugget while browsing wikipedia. Apparently Leopold I was interested in Hawaii in 1843 and nearly cut a deal with a holdings company for it before the company fell apart. So, suppose it hadn't. Might Hawaii become a springboard for additional Belgian colonization in Polynesia? Down the line, how does this colony stand to up to increasing American and later Japanese interests in the Pacific?
