Cheating players in Marvel

There are a total of 50 states under the federal name of the United States. Among them, only two states do not border the mainland.

One is Alaska in the north, near the Arctic Circle, and the other is Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Perhaps many people don’t know that Alaska and Hawaii were designated as ‘states’ in 1959. From a chronological perspective, they are precisely the last two states among the 50 states in the United States.

1959?

Perhaps many people will be surprised, and take a famous battle in World War II as an example to question-if Hawaii is not a state of the United States, then why does the US military station so many troops in Hawaii? If not because the US military regards Hawaii as a state.

How could the fortress on the Pacific battlefield attract a surprise attack by the Japanese army and carry out the "Pearl Harbor air raid" that everyone knows about?

In fact, Americans had already extended their tentacles into Hawaii as early as 1893. At that time, Christian missionaries from the United States led all church members to overthrow the local rule of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

One year later, in 1894, the Provisional Government of the Republic of Hawaii was established. The first and last queen of Hawaii was forced to abdicate, and Duheng was appointed as the first president of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Hawaii... Although there are not many documents left, from

Judging from the results, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion - the establishment of this provisional government must have something to do with the United States. In all likelihood, it is the result of the support of the United States behind the scenes.

Subsequent developments can also prove this point. After the provisional government was established, only four years later, in 1898, the United States officially issued a statement to annex Hawaii.

Since then, Hawaii's official name has become the 'United States Hawaiian Islands'.

Like the British Virgin Islands and French Polynesia, Hawaii at that time was just an overseas territory of the United States. To put it bluntly, it was more of a colony. During World War II, why could the U.S. military operate in the Hawaiian Islands, which had not yet established a state?

Garrisoned? The reason is here.

It is worth mentioning that on the surface, or in the perception of most people in the world, the Hawaiian Islands have all been merged with the United States and become the 50th state of the United States. However, in fact, the United States has not completely

Controlling the entire Hawaiian Islands - Among the Hawaiian Islands, which consists of more than 130 small islands, there is an "iron-headed boy" who is completely unlike the US government.

This island is Niihau Island.

The island was originally ruled by King Mea IV of Hawaii.

In 1836, Mrs. Sinclair, the widow of a Scottish nobleman, purchased the island from King Meir IV for US$10,000. Perhaps she was tired of the flashy and hypocritical life of the upper class. Mrs. Sinclair

With a dozen relatives and slaves, he said goodbye to England and came to settle on the island.

Not only because she purchased the ownership from King Meiya IV, but also because she came from a more developed civilized society and was stronger than the natives on the island in all aspects, so after arriving on this small island, Mrs. Sinclair replaced

She replaced the original Meiya IV and became the new queen of the island, and the more than 200 indigenous people who originally settled on the island also became her subjects.

Thirty years later, this noble lady passed away suddenly. I don’t know what she was thinking, but she stipulated in her will that the inheritance of this island should be passed down from daughter to son, and it would always be ruled by the women of the Sinclair family.

In compliance with the will left by Mrs. Sinclair, when Hawaii was annexed by the United States in 1898, five years after her death, this small female kingdom did not obey the orders of the United States. In 1959, Hawaii became the first island of the United States.

The residents of Niihau Island voted in 50 states and still refused to join the United States.

The toad lies on the feet and does not hurt people, but it makes people feel sick.

As long as Niihau Island still insists on "defying the rule to the death," then the state of Hawaii cannot be regarded as a state in the full sense. This situation is really uncomfortable for the U.S. government.

Therefore, in order to gain sovereignty over this island and make the state of Hawaii complete, in the 1980s, John Burns, the then governor of Hawaii, proposed to buy the island for US$300,000 in the name of the state capital.

island.

The result...

The island owner at that time chose to follow tradition and did not agree to the proposal. However, frightened by the power of the United States, the island owner did not dare to refuse too bluntly... To put it simply, while refusing, he wrote to the state government

received a letter.

The letter stated that neither he nor his family had any intention to sell Niihau Island at any price. At the same time, the island owner also gave the state government a supervisory power, that is, if some family members have the idea of ​​selling the island, the state government has the power to pre-emptively sell the island.

, overturn any transaction.

Half of it was because $300,000 was not a small amount of money at that time, and it was a bit painful to allocate this money from the state government's budget. The other half was because of the promise from the island owner's family, who felt that Niihau Island was impossible.

It would be bought by outsiders and turned into a landmine buried around oneself. Therefore, the state assembly did not adopt Bensi's proposal in the end, and the island purchase was abandoned.

Until now, Niihau Island has maintained its "independence" and has not joined the United States Commonwealth.

The above is all about Niihau Island in the real world.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe where Shi Xiaolei currently lives, some changes have occurred in the historical evolution of Nihau Island.

Also at the end of the 19th century, a noble lady from Europe spent money to buy this island. But the difference was that this lady was not named Sinclair, nor was she Scottish... Facts

Above, that is a female vampire who looks like a human, but has betrayed the human race.

Just like those vampires who left Europe to live on the North American continent, this female vampire also came to Hawaii with the same purpose. The reason why she spent money to buy Niihau Island was not because she was tired of the glitz of the upper class.

Hypocritical and want to live quietly', but simply because Niihau Island meets the two conditions of 'large enough area' and 'there are human settlements, but not too many people', making it a very suitable place for vampires

A great place to hide.

With the arrival of this female vampire, the natives on Niihau Island were like livestock in captivity, reduced to food for the vampire.

It just so happened that it was still the 19th century, and the natives on the island were not civilized and were still in a very ignorant period... Seeing some of the abilities displayed by the female vampires, they did not hesitate to regard each other as gods and worshiped her.

It offered loyalty.

Then, under the step-by-step guidance of the vampires, the ideologies of the indigenous people became more and more distorted. In the end, they completely ignored the fact that they had been reduced to food. Instead, like cultists, they dedicated their blood to the vampires.

'I regard it as a sacred ceremony and feel that it is a great honor.

Not only that, in order to conceal the existence of vampires, they also actively cut off contact with the outside world and subtly set a rule that "among outsiders, only vampires and their followers can land on the island." (Speaking of which, although the reason is completely different.

The same, but the closed state of Niihau Island is exactly the same as that on Earth.)

Over time, dozens or hundreds of years, this small island has turned into a nest of vampires.
