In this unexplained edit from 2020 the asterisk preceding Sawaiki was removed and it has not been reinserted despite the fact that the footnote next to it still explains its existence. Is there a reason for this or is it an oversight? Tesolc ( talk) 22:17, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
The following is a quote from the page "Belgian Colonial Empire":
During the 1840s and 50s, King Leopold I tentatively supported several proposals to acquire territories overseas. In 1843, he signed a contract with Ladd & Co. to colonize the Kingdom of Hawaii, but the deal fell apart when Ladd & Co. ran into financial difficulties.

I'm not sure if this is something that should be part of the history section (to indicate that - shortly after the signing of the constitution and during the time of conflicts between the monarchy and the american missionaries - the monarchy was in talks with belgium (mostly neutral at the time but with close ties to the UK, Germany, Russia, and France) to become part of its domain. While the quoted bit above is documented and sourced in the article I copied it from, I seem to recall reading a few more in detail sources indicating that Hawaii was being purchased with the Belgian monarchy as a silent partner and intended to not become a Belgian colony but a province with the region becoming a principality or somehting of the sort but I can't recall where I read it so the entire story may need more research before it gets added onto the page. 2A02:A03F:8A27:1600:4EB:5F11:3EAF:6320 ( talk) 16:29, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
