| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The sugar industry underwrote the colonial economy of Japanese mandated Micronesia before World War Two. Beginning in the 1920s, the industry eventually brought 96,000 Japanese migrants to the island region in the 1940s. Prior to that, the Japanese had developed a successful sugar industry in Colonial Taiwan (1895-1945) by establishing the Japanese model of plantation settlements. The origin of Japanese sugar plantation settlements in Colonial Taiwan can be linked to sugar plantation models in Hawaii at the beginning of the twentieth century. This study thus explores physical and social features of sugar plantation settlements across four Hawaiian islands, from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century based on archival sources, historical maps, photographs, literature and interviews with residents who remember life in the sugar plantation towns of Hawaii prior to World War Two.
