The United States is the fourth largest country in the world, and the whole country is divided into 50 states, which are equivalent to our provinces. There are two states that are not adjacent to the territory of the United States. One is Alaska, which is separated by Canada, and the other is Hawaii, which is located in the Pacific Ocean, 3700 kilometers away from the mainland of the United States, surrounded by the sea and with beautiful scenery. Hawaii consists of 132 islands in the central Pacific Ocean, with a land area of 1.67 million square kilometers and a population of1200,000. Most of the residents are Europeans, Americans and Japanese. Hawaii became a dependency of the United States in 1898 and became the 50th state of the United States in 1959.
There is a place in Hawaii that we should be familiar with, that is Pearl Harbor, where the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in World War II happened, and now some on-site objects are preserved here for tourists to visit. At present, Pearl Harbor is still the seat of the US Pacific Fleet and Pacific Command. Hawaii is located in the vast Pacific Ocean, and the islands are formed by volcanic eruption, with mild climate, abundant rainfall and high forest coverage. There are a lot of sugar cane, and most of the island is planted with sugar cane, which produces more than one million tons of sugar every year, so it is called the sugar island of the United States.
Hawaii is a very strategic place for the United States. Hawaii is a state composed of hundreds of small islands in the Pacific Ocean. The existence of Hawaii makes it easier for the United States to control the Pacific Ocean.
