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 Hawaiian Islands into a native monarchy, written by Petike.
Premise
What if the Hawaiian islands were kept without European intrusion for a few more years and Kamehameha died too soon to unite them into a single “kingdom” ?
Origins and development
Formerly just a short backstory for a flag entered in round 65 of the 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.
