Philippines thought they were going to get their freedom like Cuba did. That’s when they started

stop annexation of Hawaii wanted to get rid of the annexation. The petitions were signed by 21,269 Native Hawaiians more than half of the 39,000 Hawaiians living in Hawaii. The petition was just a buildup of what the Hawaiians had been through with a sugar trade inviting a movement of Japanese to want to work in the trade, leading the U.S. to use Hawaii as a naval base to gain more power around the world, so they would not expect a Japanese’s invasion. The annexation of Hawaii with the sugar trade

In the latter half of the nineteenth century -1890’s- there were many economic, political, and social changes due to the gaining of territories during this time. The Age of Expansionism saw several factories coincide to account for American’s desire to pursue an Imperial policy. In the years that followed the Civil War the economy of the United States expanded rapidly. The Civil War briefly froze the Industrial Revolution, which began roughly around 1815, but the end of the conflict allowed the nation

After reading the article, “The Conquest of Hawaii,” my understanding of how Hawaii became a part of the United States has changed drastically. Originally, I had thought that Hawaii was conquered by the Europeans with reckless violence and torture towards the Hawaiians like how the Europeans conquered the Native American’s land. I also had thought that the modern Hawaiian attitudes towards becoming U.S. citizens were narrow minded and hard headed because it was their land that the Europeans were

About Hawaii The capital of Hawaii is Honolulu (the star on the map shows where the capital is). People have a nickname for the state, they call it the “Aloha State” The current population for Hawaii is 1,360,301. It's pretty small compared to some of the mainland states. Hawaii is located at (21.3000°N, 157.8167°W). Honolulu is 4,957 miles from New York City. We acquired Hawaii in 1959. What happened was a group of sugar and pineapple businessmen, aided by the American minister to Hawaii and supported

the third largest navy in the world. Having this type of motivation helped America flourish in terms of rebuilding, having a new patriotic spirit, and preparing for expansion. The second step in building and empire is having a group of states or territories under a single authority. This was done by America’s belief in expansion. One way to show America as an Empire is the belief in Manifest Destiny in terms of expansion. Manifest Destiny is a belief that was shared by many Americans that the United

The Overthrow was people who wanted to take over Hawaii. The Overthrow happen on January 17, 1893. Some kings and queens were trying to stop the overthrow. But it didn’t happen because Queen Lili’oukalani lost the throne from the overthrow. Some groups have succeeded to annex Hawaii. After that Hawaii was no longer independent. The Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was unjustified because Queen Lili’uokalani wrote a new constitution to restore her throne and the Aloha Aina attempted to revolt the

“The Aloha State” became the 50th state in 1959, but the history of Hawaii goes back centuries earlier. Roughly 1,500 years ago, Polynesians from the Marquesas Islands first set foot on Hawaii Island. With only the stars to guide them, they miraculously sailed over 2000 miles in canoes to migrate to the Islands. 500 years later, settlers from Tahiti arrived, bringing their beliefs in gods and demi-gods and instituting a strict social hierarchy based on a kapu (taboo) system.

economic interests, the second reasons are military interests, and the last reason is cultural superiority. If we hadn't become an imperialist nation, then we would have never gotten the islands of Hawaii or Alaska. We also helped the Cubans and Philippines to gain their freedom and got Puerto Rico as a territory too. Imperialism was a much better foreign policy than the Monroe Doctrine.” What were the benefits of America’s
