  1. Hawaii would have been a territory of Imperial Japan or controlled by the People's Republic of China today. Better a bunch of Jesus Sugar Americans.

  2. A lot of people think before the United States all the ancestors did was sit around the campfires at night and sing happy songs. It was all so romantic and sweet.

  3. Hawaii is too prime to be left alone. Imperial Japan had an eye on Hawaii and the islands would have made a nice addition to the empire portfolio. Hawaii is not that economically strong and China would have been more than happy to advance money in exchange for other advantages. Neither nation would have given a hoot for the natives if they had taken possession.

  4.  @ralphiemcdingus2075  Hawaii would have made a terrific eastern outpost for the co-prosperity sphere. This way Japan could keep an eye out for the comings and goings of the United States and in today's terms, the growing influence of China. With a major naval base in Japan and one in Hawaii, the Japanese could control the south Pacific quite nicely, more so if they also held the Philippines. That said, the Chinese have extended their influence through parts of the south Pacific now and as some countries have found, the Chinese are not above suggesting the thoughtful paths they should take.

  5. I always enjoy asking people like you how does it feel to be a colonizer?

  6. Where would Mexicans flee to if it weren't for Texas? They'd still be stuck in Mexico.
