In 1843, due to claims that British citizens with in the Kingdom of Hawai'i were denied legal rights, the British Empire would occupy the Kingdom of Hawai'i for five months. Historically, it ended with peaceful negotiation and diplomacy by the Hawai'ians, but what if, in an alternate timeline, the British turn Hawai'i into a British protectorate?
Would Hawai'i experience the growth it did in our timeline? Would the native population recede as it had in our timeline? Would the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbour have happened?
