The Hawaiian monarchy primarily united the separate islands into a kingdom in the 19th century **by utilizing new weapons** and military force, particularly during the reign of King Kamehameha I. He played a crucial role in unifying the Hawaiian Islands, starting with his successful campaigns that led to the conquest of various rival chieftains and tribes.
While economic relationships and negotiations were also part of the broader context of Hawaiian history, the more immediate and significant factor in the unification process was Kamehameha's military prowess and the use of Western weapons, which gave him an advantage in asserting control over the islands.
So, the best answer would be **by utilizing new weapons**.
