Named for the storied valley in which combined Oʻahu and allied forces made a valiant last stand against an invading army from Hawai'i Island, the battle of Nuʻuanu was unquestionably a formative event in the history of these islands - no less, perhaps, in the historical development of this nation. If Nuʻuanu had not turned out as it did, Hawaiʻi might never have been brought into permanent union and the archipelago may have advanced along very different lines.
