Some of the major points of King Kamehameha I’s campaign included wars. The Battle of
Moku’ohai occurred in the year of 1782 and was on the island of Hawaii. The significance of this
battle is that is was a key battle, if the King won this battle it would be his first step in conquering
the Hawaiian islands. This battle also solidified his leadership over the island of Hawaii.
Kiwalaʻō was an Ali’i on the island of Hawaii and died when he lost to King Kamehameha in
battle in 1782. Keōua was an important in the King's campaign because that was his father.
Kahekili was the King of Maui. His actions almost led to the destruction of his land. Kahekili was
a chief who was in control of majority of the Hawaiian islands except for the island of Hawaii.
When Kahekili died 1794, it led to the weakening of his army. This eventually led up to King
Kamehameha conquering the island of Maui. Shortly after, King Kamehameha conquered the
island of Oahu by defeating Kahekili’s army in the Battle of Nu’uanu Pali that took place in the
year of 1795. The last island to conquer was the island of Kauai but the chief of that island
made a mutual obligation with the King which led to the unifying of all the Hawaiian islands in
