卡米哈米哈王朝

國王卡米哈米哈一世是一位聰明的統治者，他積聚了大量的財富並讓夏威夷成為外來探險家的嚮往之地。他統一了夏威夷各島並建立了一個長久統治夏威夷各群島的王朝。他讓政府壟斷檀香木貿易並對造訪船隻徵稅。卡米哈米哈是一位強壯又能幹的國王，但他的後繼者並沒有他的聰明才智，因而最後仍由歐洲取得夏威夷群島的控制權。


King Kamehameha I was a smart ruler who amassed a fortune and made Hawaii a desirable prize for foreign explorers. He was the one who united all the Hawaiian islands and founded the royal dynasty that ruled them for years. He established a government monopoly in the sandalwood trade, and he collected duties (charges) from visiting ships. Kamehameha was a strong and able king, but his successors were not as strong as him and ultimately were not able to resist European efforts to control the islands.
