Hawaii

- Hawaii is the newest of the 50 U.S. states (August 21, 1959), and is the only U.S. state made up entirely of islands. The Hawaiian language word Hawaiʻi derives from Proto-Polynesian *Sawaiki, with the reconstructed meaning "homeland".
Hawaii was the target of a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by Imperial Japan on December 7, 1941. This attack brought the United States into World War II.
