After conquering Oʻahu in summer 1795, Kamehameha prepared against Kauaʻi, whose king Kaumualiʻi submitted, yielding effective control of the islands.
After his conquest of Oʻahu in the summer of 1795, Kamehameha I prepared his forces for the conquest of Kauaʻi, the last remaining island kingdom outside his control. However, before Kamehameha could invade Kauaʻi, King Kaumualiʻi submitted to him, giving Kamehameha effective control over all of the Hawaiian Islands. This submission capped the campaign of which the Battle of Nuʻuanu was the decisive engagement, though the passages do not date the submission precisely within 1795.
