After discovering how the island was conspired into this seizure, Cleveland recommended that the monarchy should be restored. In a message to the Congress, specifically addressing Minister Wallis, Cleveland urged to restore the condition of the island as it was previous to the “lawless landing” of the forces of the United States at the Honolulu. He proposed that “the past should be buried” and the “restored Government should resume its authority” without being affected. But Congress did not act upon this command. In 1894, Hawaii came under Stanford Dole, who, declared himself president of the Republic without much consent from the natives. The queen was placed under house arrest held for the guilt of treason. A fine of $5000 was also placed on her. In 1896, the Republican Party called for the annexation of Hawaii in the presidential election. In 1990, Hawaii legitimately became a U.S. territory under William McKinley, out of fear that it may be annexed by Japan. He also feared that he lacked majority support for the annexation in the Senate. Eventually, several immigrant laborers from all over the world joined the sugar business. Today Hawaii comprises of people belonging to China, Japan, and Portuguese from Madeira and the Azores including Puerto Rican’s, Koreans and Filipinos. This resulted in Hawaii

either before or after his departure for Hawaii regarding attempts at achieving annexation in the Hawaiian Nation.” (3) Stevens had many reasons of his own to support annexation. When he arrived in the islands, he saw many great economic and military advantages to having Hawaii annexed as a state. He realized that Hawaii in itself was a growing industry, soon to be had as a major sugar producer in the world at the time. Plus, Hawaii offered a huge strategic position, lying in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, which could serve as a docking point for many U.S. warships. Stevens himself felt that he was doing good in helping an expanding America grow to even greater proportions by backing annexation in the islands.

The Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was on January 17, 1893 when the government's power fell in the foreigners hands who supported annexation. The Annexation Club focused on overthrowing the Queen and seeking annexation to the United States. This was caused by the McKinley Tariff Act by the United States which the Reciprocity Treaty on tariff that helped protect both United States and Hawaii sugar growers was now removed and the Hawaiians had a huge disadvantage because of the tariffs the Hawaiians need to pay. This was horrible for the foreigners because now that there was no more reciprocity treaty, the Hawaiians had to pay for the tariffs once again. The overthrow was unjustified for the Hawaiians because of John Stevens actions and the Hawaiian League.

What did all of this have to do with the U.S.? Well, because the U.S. had ties with East Asia, politically and economically, the decisions Japan were making were also affecting the U.S. So, America took it upon itself to increase military and financial aid to China. The reason this decision was made was to cut off oil shipments and raw materials to Japan. This is what really angered the Japanese.

On January 17, 1893, the Hawaiian Kingdom was overthrown by the United States of America. A storm had broken out, and a group of American men took control of the Hawaiian Kingdom. This group of men, called the Hawaiian League would ultimately take over, and overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom. When the McKinley Tariff was signed, this allowed all imported sugar into the U.S. tariff free. This worried many foreign sugar businessmen that sugar would not thrive in Hawaii anymore. Many businessmen thought annexation would be a solution to help boost sugar again. The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was unjustified, because of the unlawful acts by Minster Stevens, and the Hawaiian League.

The Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, which happened from January 17, 1893 to August 12, 1898, happened because the sugar planters and businessmen wanted more power over the Hawaiian Islands, both economically and politically. These foreigners tried to overthrow the Hawaiian Monarchy by using force, and the Hawaiians tried to stop the act of annexation. During the overthrow, some foreigners, such as Sanford B. Dole, Lorrin A. Thurston, and John L. Stevens, created the Hawaiian League, the Committee of Public Safety, and the Annexation Club to promote annexation on Hawaii. When the United States promoted the McKinley Tariff Act in 1891, it harmed the sugar industry in Hawaii, increasing the calls for annexation. At the same time, King David

The monarchy continued to lose faith in their American counterparts and the promises of self-determination for the Hawaiian people by the U.S. While members of the annexation movement believed U.S influence to be faltering and feared a loss of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Civil War broke out in the United States. Under Kamehameha V’s reign the increased demand for sugar, wool, and other food stuffs due to the loss of agricultural resources in the south. This surge in the economy immediately benefitted the missionaries, who had since established a place within Hawaiian trade and

Japan was affected because America's trade was vital to Japan's survival. Trade with America became limited and Japans economic prosperity was at risk. Japan needed more imports. The army decided on a militaristic option and seized Manchuria, as it had rich supplies of raw materials such as coal, iron ore, timber and rice. They believed that by expanding, Japan could become more powerful.

Previous months before December 7th, 1941 America and Japan had been going head and head with each other. The United States wanted Japan to stop building up their army but all Japan’s goal was to becoming the ruler of Asia. When they didn’t listen to America’s warning President Roosevelt stopped all export of American machinery to Japan. When Japan still continued President Roosevelt then stopped all sales

Ships plied the Pacific in great numbers with the first containerised freight (of military hardware and supplies. On the return trip, rather than return with empty containers, the ships began to stop at Japan and fill those containers with inexpensive Japanese cars and TVs and other electronic appliances. It was the beginning of Japan's real economic boom. And the beginning of the end for US competitiveness in a host of areas, which gave us the economy we see
