I think “The United States annexes Hawaii in 1900” should be paired with imperialism. The meaning of imperialism is the policy that creates colonies in the weaker nations in order to make raw materials and have access to the new markets. The reason why I think The United States annexing Hawaii in 1900 is a part of imperialism is because once Americans was done settling in Hawaii they started to grow sugar and sold it to the Americans in the US; both the US and Hawaii in 1875 and Hawaii agreed to trading sugar and this allowed Hawaiian sugar to be shipped to the US without tariffs. The agreement between the US and Hawaii ended when Congress passed the “McKinley Tariff of 1890”.

The King Kamehameha III had noticed that the hawaiian population was dieing out and foreigners were taking over the hawaiian islands.

A choice to either give up their family and country to work in labor or to stay home and live their normal lives. Some people from different countries would accept the first choice.

But only in the future, people would know that plantation life in Hawaii in the 1800’s was very difficult for the immigrant workers.

The American intervention and overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, in 1893, was one of the most pivotal moments in American foreign policy history, because it marked the first instance of overseas intervention by the United States government, a practice that became commonplace for the federal government in the years following.
