The Legitimate government in Hawaii Series: In 1844, the U.S. did Not respect the Hawaiian Flag, even though they recognized Hawaii in 1843
Review by Amelia Gora (2022)
In 1844, the U.S. did not respect the Hawaiian flag, even even though they recognized Hawaii in 1843. Note that Belgium recognized Hawaii/the Hawaiian Kingdom as an independent nation in 1841! In other words, Belgium NOT the U.S. recognized the Hawaiian Kingdom first:

SUMMARY
Conflicts existed between awaii and te United States.
Belgium recognized the Hawaiian Kingdom first as a sovereign independent nation. The United States, Great Britain, and France were in second place.
A little history of Belgium:
Belgium's modern shape can be traced back at least as far as the southern core of the medieval Burgundian Netherlands. These lands straddled the ancient boundary of the Scheldt that had divided medieval France and Germany, but they were brought together under the House of Valois-Burgundy, and unified into one autonomous territory by their heir Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, in his Pragmatic Sanction of 1549. The Eighty Years' War (1568–1648) later led to the split between a northern Dutch Republic and the Southern Netherlands from which Belgium and Luxembourg developed. This southern territory continued to be ruled by the Habsburg descendants of the Burgundian house, at first as the "Spanish Netherlands". Invasions from France under Louis XIV led to the loss of what is now Nord-Pas-de-Calais to France, while the remainder finally became the "Austrian Netherlands". The French Revolutionary wars led to Belgium becoming part of France in 1795, bringing the end of the semi-independence of areas which had belonged to the Catholic church. After the defeat of the French in 1814, a new United Kingdom of the Netherlands was created, which eventually split one more time during the Belgian Revolution of 1830–1839, giving three modern nations, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
