Years: 1782 - 1782
Hawaiian ruler Kalaniʻōpuʻu dies in 1782 and his oldest son Kiwalaʻo officially inherits the kingdom, but his nephew Kamehameha I has an important military post, guardian of the god Kūkaʻilimoku.
A younger son, Keōua Kuahuʻula, is not happy about this and provokes Kamehameha.
The forces meet just south of Kealakekua Bay at the battle of Mokuʻōhai.
Kamehameha wins control of the west and north sides of the island, but Keōua escapes.
It will take over a decade for Kamehameha to consolidate his control.
