{{Nihongo|'''Hawaii'''|ハワイ|Hawai}}<!--Hawaiian: Hawaiʻi--> is an island state of the [[United States of America]], located 2000 miles southwest of the mainland in the Pacific Ocean. Made up of volcanic islands, the state is named after the largest island in the archipelago and the name is also used to refer to the Hawaiian Islands as a whole.

The islands were the site of [[Eruption of Kilauea|a major]] [[Invasion of Hawaii|incident]] instigated by [[Gremlin (Norse)|Gremlin]] in the early part of ''Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index''.<ref name=ShinyakuV3>{{Qvl|Shinyaku|L|3}}</ref>{{CiteCP}}

{{TSP}}The Hawaii Islands were formed through volcanic activity due to an undersea {{W|Hawaii hotspot|hotspot}}, which gradually builds the islands in a successive chain as the Pacific tectonic plate moves over the stationary hotspot.{{RLRef}} Hawaii's largest<!--check NT3 text? most active RL--> active volcano is {{W|Kilauea}}, located on the island of Hawaii.<ref name=ShinyakuV3Ch2Pt24>{{Qvl|Shinyaku|L|3}} Chapter 2 Part 24</ref><ref group=Notes name=Active>Although Mauna Loa is larger than Kilauea, at the time of ''{{Qvl|Shinyaku|L|3|Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Volume 3}}''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s initial publishing it had not erupted since 1984, while Kilauea was active.

==Background==
{{TSP}}Hawaii was originally settled by Polynesian voyagers<!--date of arrival disputed-->, with a number of independent chiefdoms governing the islands. The first Europeans to encounter the islands were the expedition of Captain James Cook in 1799<!--on his third voyage, who was killed there in a dispute over a stolen longboat-->. After conquering and uniting the islands, {{W|Kamehameha I}} established the {{W|Kingdom of Hawaii}}, which lasted from 1795 to 1893, until several coups and annexation as an overseas territory by [[United States of America]], the islands becoming a state in 1959.{{RLRef}}<!--NT3 regarding king<ref name=ShinyakuV3Ch5Pt5/>-->

During [[World War II]], a pre-emptive strike by [[Japan]] on Hawaii's [[Pearl Harbor]] in order to neutralize the US Pacific fleet, precipitated the United States's full entry into the war.{{CiteH|At least one in-series ref}}{{RLRef}}
