Annex Hawaii In America

According to the information present in the speech given by a man named, Sanford J Dole, the Americans imperializing Hawai’i was a constructive motion. This is due to the fact that throughout the speech, Dole informs his audience on the benefits both the Hawaiians and Hawai’i would gain through Hawai’i being a territory of the United States(US). The speech was given on June 10th, 1900, at Iolani Palace, after Dole was elected to be the governor of the Territory of Hawai’i. As the speech is an original document, it is a primary source. Based on the information provided in the speech, the message Dole is trying to convey is that the day Hawai’i became a territory of the US, is one of the most important days in Hawaiian history. This is because

Pearl Harbor is an American military base located in Oahu, named after the pearls that were found there. This base was originally a normal bay until the late 1800s when an agreement between America and Hawaii was made. At this time, Hawaii wanted to make their sugar industry stronger by taking away the money needed to send sugar into America. America accepted this, but in return gained access to Pearl Harbor and changed it into a refueling station for its army. 10 years after this agreement, America won a war against the Spanish, and gained land within the pacific such as the Philippines. America needed an army to support these new lands so, they started to change Pearl Harbor into an enormous army base. Although it suffered an attack from

The annexation of Hawaii was an important event in the history of the world. It is still not easy for the Hawaiians to accept the fact that America had taken over a land 2500 miles away from the West Coast. In 1917 Hawaii was considered the 50th state supported by the islanders after a plebiscite. Queen Lydia Kamakaeha Liliuokalani was overthrown because of the support of the United States army as well as naval forces to a group of businessmen belonging to the sugar and pineapple industry. The Armed forces of the United States were ordered to provide this support on the directives of the minister of the United States to Hawaii. In reality they were missionaries who had been welcomed for several years by the

The most significant reason for American expansion between 1880 to 1929 was the economic benefits that came with the policy. The United States, during the nineteenth century, believed American expansion to overseas markets would provide them with the economic resources and labor the country needed. This form of expansionism eventually provided the United States with the Philippine Islands, as well as Hawaii towards the late nineteenth and asserted the U.S. as an imperial power. One of the main reasons the U.S. wanted to acquire Hawaii, besides the

Another source I used is called, “Hawaii Needs You. (Cover Story),” from the database EBSCOhost. This article explains how terrible the United States has treated Hawaii and misused the state. It describes how it diminished the Hawaiian culture, and how America brought toxins and diseases that killed many innocent lives.

unlawfully gained Hawaii as a territory due to one major contributing factor, the Spanish-American War. High tensions and treaties failing, the U.S. sought to use Hawaii as a strategic gain on Spanish, by creating a strong military base in the Pacific. “Advocates argued that Hawaii was needed to support American soldiers in the Philippines“(Moss 18). It is required for the people of the native land to consent to being annexed into a country by Joint Resolution, but nevertheless, the appropriate procedures were ignored. These procedures were not met because of the potential economic, strategic, and imperial gain. After illegally annexing Hawaii by Joint Resolution and violating the U.S. Constitution, Hawaii ultimately became a controlled point in the U.S.’s stride for imperialism

The Spanish-American war gave the push that the American government needed to make a final decision over Hawaii. The Hawaiin Islands were known as the

The Overthrow was when the United State troops illegally went on Hawaiian soil and brought 14,000 rounds of ammunition, which resulted in the Hawaii losing control of their country. The U.S minister, Stevens was responsible for illegally surrounding the palace and for threatening to kill the Queen and destroy the palace if not signing a contract to abdicate her from the throne. The overthrow was unjustified because the Annexationists accused Queen Lili‘uokalani of plotting against the government because she wanted to write a new constitution. The reason the Annexationists found out was because the Queen told the cabinet her plan to change the constitution, which resulted in a leak of information.

John L. Stevens came to the island of Oahu in September 1889, acting as the U.S. Minister to Hawaii. While his mission in Hawaii was not clearly stated, his political actions on the islands clearly showed that Stevens thought that the annexation of Hawaii was proper and inevitable.

The people of Hawaii and other Pacific Island Nation groups have experienced great injustice from their colonial powers and the acts of imperialism. Lands were seized, cultural practices banned, language lost, and people were even forced to move away from their homes for the purpose of bomb testing. The United States and other countries abroad sent out representatives to do their work for them; in return their future actions would be justified in describing the Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders as savages that need to have wider powers enforced upon them; thus resulting in a tangled web of political mythologies.

The process of annexing Hawai`i to the US will increase the trade frequency and starts tourism in Hawai`i(The Overthrow of the Monarchy). Hawai`i doesn’t do tourism back then, the income was mainly from sugar. When annexing to the US, tourism was introduced to Hawai`i. This reason can’t be a great way to help support the overthrow because tourism is popular to due the fact that sugar was still popular back then and tourism will eventually reach Hawai`i. The Hawaiians encounter difficulties due to the overthrow, because of their loss of power. The impact of the Hawaiians isn’t good and shouldn’t justify the overthrow, the Hawaiians lost the right to vote to foreigners in the film “Hawaii’s Last
