Hawaii Territory

The Hawaii Territory was a territory of the United States from 1898 to 1959. It voluntarily joined the United States following the abolishment of the Hawaiian monarchy, during the brief reign of the Republic of Hawaii.

During the War of the Pacific (1941-1944) the Hawaii territory was governed by the United States Military.

On August 21, 1959 Hawaii was granted statehood, and became America's 50th state.
