American Hawaii Hawaii is known for its beautiful beaches, it’s nice year-round weather, and its culture. Thousands of vacationers come to Hawaii each year to get away from the stressful city and relax. But do they know how cruel the Americans were to the natives? Do they know how we corrupted their culture and their religion? Do they know how Hawaii really became a state? Probably not. When most people think of Hawaii, they think of happy Hawaiian babes hula dancing and palm trees swaying in the warm breeze.

Hawaii is now populated mostly by Americans.

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

Puerto Ricans are another major Hispanic group that has also arrived to the U.S and brought less work for Americans. Puerto Ricans' current association with the United States, like that of the Mexican people, began as the result of the outcome of a war. The island of Borinquen, subsequently called Puerto Rico, was claimed by Spain in 1493. The native inhabitants, the Taino Indians, were significantly reduced in number by conquest, slavery, and genocide. (Schaefer, R. 2006, p.266). After Puerto Rico had been ruled by Spain for four centuries, the island was seized by the United States in 1808 during the Spanish-American War. The value of Puerto Rico for the United States, as it had been for Spain, was mainly its strategic location, which was advantageous for maritime trade. (Schaefer, R. 2006, p.226). The most significant difference between the meaning of race in Puerto Rico and on the mainland is that Puerto Rico, like so many other

After the European influence upon indigenous Hawaiian culture, “Hawaiians radically reinterpreted and transformed their culture… part of this transformation was the abandonment of the kapu system in 1819.” The meaning of the organization of architecture no longer reflects upon ideology of the Hawaiians, but the adaptation of more technological advanced living space. As a result, “many temples were dismantled or destroyed, leaving only he foundation stones” (Ladegoged, #).

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

After the Civil War, U.S. expansionism into the Pacific began. Merchant ships sought places to refuel. Missionaries wished to spread Christianity around the globe. The United States began expanding in the Pacific with the occupation of the Midway Islands, located about 3,000 miles west of California.

1899 marked the year when America set its sites from the Spanish to the First Philippine Republic plunging American into yet another war ending with the temporary annexation of the Philippine Islands spreading American imperialism to the Far East. Within one year of winning their independence from

How did the Americanization of Hawaii effect he island & how will it effect Puerto Rico

Compared to other islands in the Pacific Ocean, what was unique about the acquisition of the Hawaiian archipelago by the United States was it’s geography along with the natural resources that were provided. In 1856, the Guano Islands Act was passed to allow for the annexation of unclaimed islands with deposits of guano rich in nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium for use in commercial agriculture. In 1867, the Secretary of State William H. Seward negotiates the purchase of Alaska from Russia which includes the Aleutian islands that stretch from the Pacific Ocean. In 1875, the reciprocity treaty gets rid of the tariffs from the exports of sugar and rice. And the U.S. landowners in Hawaii negotiate this treaty between the kingdom of Hawaii and the United States for the free trade of the Hawaiian sugar into the U.S., in return for the land around Pearl Harbor, in order to build a strong powerful U.S. naval base.

To fully understand Tarzan’s superiority, it is essential first to recognize the American gender ideals and racial supremacy of the late 19th century. According to John Hollitz, in the 20th century the US became an imperialistic leading global player that emphasized the need to spread “civilization” and build an empire in areas such as the Philippines. (pg. 83). In line with Hollitz, Kristin L. Hoganson argues that during the twentieth century, US annexation of the Philippines became essential for its commercial and geographically advantageous position in Asia. The US also felt it was their “God-given duty” to “guide” Filipino savages, who were “unfit” to govern themselves (99).

In 1889 America colonize the Philippines because of imperialism. After the colonization of the Philippines the Filipinos could come and work in the United States because they had passports that allowed them. The Filipinos then work in agriculture, fishery and service industry, however when they are in the mainland and technically they were not aliens because the Philippines is U.S. territory, the Filipinos weren’t exempted to racism. In the 1930 signs that says “Positively no Filipinos allowed” can be seen in stores. In the United States. The signs show an example of how Filipinos were racially discriminated against. Filipinos were racially discriminated against because they’re not white and pro-imperialist animators created cartoons that depict Filipinos and created stereotypes against them. These stereotypes were created and shown to the people to justify the means of the United States in colonizing other countries. The two main Filipino stereotypes are they are uneducated and uncivilized.
