卡米哈米哈王朝

国王卡米哈米哈一世是一位聪明的统治者，他积聚了大量的财富并让夏威夷成为外来探险家的向往之地。他统一了夏威夷各岛并创建了一个长久统治夏威夷各群岛的王朝。他让政府垄断檀香木贸易并对造访船只征税。卡米哈米哈是一位强壮又能干的国王，但他的后继者并没有他的聪明才智，因而最后仍由欧洲取得夏威夷群岛的控制权。


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.
