====== Better Weather, Less Revolutionary Bloodshed, More Indigestions: An Alternate History of the Kingdom of Hawaii======

A short TL (with an overly long title) about an alternate unification of the [[offtopic:Hawaii|Hawaiian Islands]] into a native monarchy, written by [[offtopic:Petike]].

----

==== Premise ====

What if the Hawaiian islands were kept without European intrusion for a few more years and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamehameha_I|Kamehameha the Great]] died too soon to unite them into a single native monarchy? 

----

==== Origins and development ====

Formerly just a short backstory for a flag entered in round 65 of the [[alternate history:Weekly Flag Challenge]], it very quickly got expanded, resulting in this fairly plausible mini TL. The author decided to give it a chance due to the noted lack of Polynesian-centered TLs and the small number of TLs based on non-European and non-American 18th century PODs. Future plans for the TL include a far more detailed remake, a MkII version, if you will. Until then, some additional media (a few more flags and maps) will gradually be posted in the TL's thread.
