Many years ago, both Alaska and Hawaii were territories. The United States purchased the Alaska Territory from Russia, and eventually, in 1959, it became a state of the United States. The Hawaiian Islands were explored by a number of people, including Polynesian adventurers and British explorer Captain James Cook. But for a long time, Hawaii was independent, until the 1890s, when US business interests began to exert influence over the islands. Hawaii too became a state in 1959. But if you are asking about their geographic locations, Alaska is in the extreme northwest of the North American continent, while Hawaii is the only US state in Oceania, near Polynesia, in the central Pacific Ocean.
