Alaska and Hawaii became the 49th and 50th states of the USA only after world war two. What was their sovereign status before that? ALASKA was a Russian colony from 1744 until the USA bought it in 1867 for $7,200,000. It was made a state in 1959. Hawaii was a kingdom until 1893 and became a republic in 1894. It then ceded itself to the USA in 1898 and became a state in 1959. Kyra Ings, Devizes, Wiltshire (dmi@praxis.co.uk) IMMEDIATELY before Hawaii achieved statehood in 1959, it was a Territory of the US.
Answer. Hawaiiâa U.S. territory since 1898âbecame the 50th state in August, 1959, following a referendum in Hawaii in which more than 93% of the voters approved the proposition that the territory should be admitted as a state.There were many Hawaiian petitions for statehood during the first half of the 20th century.n retrospect, perhaps, the genuinely interesting question about Hawaiiâs becoming a state is why it took so longâ60 years from the time that it became a U.S. possession. There were many Hawaiian petitions for statehood during the first half of the 20th century. These were denied or ignored.
