One very strong piece of writing,”Queen Liliuokalani’s letter of protest to McKinley,” written by Queen Liliuokalani herself, is a letter protesting how her and her fellow Hawaiians should have an ability to vote on the regards of Hawaii’s independence. This letter was written in July of 1897. Back then, Hawaii was not part of the United States. The purpose of this writing was to change the treaty sent to the US. In her letter, Queen Liliuokalani discusses how in eight months she would “give” the Hawaiian islands to the United States with a treaty.
Hawaii’s annexation led to a lot of different opinions, some opinions were with the annexation and some were against it. The annexation was led by a small group of white businessmen who were pursuing their own interests. The businessmen overthrew Liliuokalani who was monarchy of Hawaii at the time, when Liliuokalani was dethroned Hawaii had to elect a new monarchy. The new monarchy was Dole, he was the one that applied for the annexation of Hawaii. The American colonists controlled a majority of Hawaii’s economy.

Imperialism is a style of government that strives to expand its territory by either invading other nations or forcing them to submit to its control through political means. Countries engaged in imperialism to expand their territory and power. In America during the 1860s, industrialization was on the rise which increased the demand for raw materials to support the mass production of goods and the growing population of the Country. America sought to capture Hawaii because of the island's abundant resources. During this time, Hawaii was governed by a monarchy and was home to many American planters who benefited from the rich resources.
The United States has inflicted imperialism on the island Hawaii on January 17, 1893. They did this by overthrowing the government which was a monarchy and its ruler was Queen Liliuokalani. Then by overthrowing the sugar planters who overthrew the Queen, President William Mckinley was able to obtaining the territory for the U.S after the Spanish-American war. The U.S wanted to obtain Hawaii because of its monopoly on Sugar and its Sugar exports to The United States. The United States wanted to obtain the territory also to get rid of taxes on them and the business, and wealthy people were losing their ability to manipulate the government and wanted it as a naval base like pearl harbor.
Queen Lili’uokalani's Report Queen Liliuokalani was the first female monarch of Hawaii and the last sovereign, before Hawaii was annexed by the United States. She was a resilient and thoughtful leader, who made it her mission to restore rights that were threatened by wealthy businessmen from the mainland. As an author, composer and marginalized leader, Liliuokalani overcame the unfair treatment of prosperous businessmen and landowners to be a part of the struggle for equality for Native Hawaiians to build knowledge of Hawaiian history before it became a federal territory, which has influenced the US today. Liliuokalani overcame the unfair treatment of prosperous businessmen and landowners by restoring rights that limited the power of Hawaii.
The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom took place in Hawaii on January 17th, 1893. The overthrow was when the Hawaiian Monarchy was taken down and lost its sovereignty. The Overthrow happened because, The annexationists wanted more power. Some people involved were King David Kalakaua, the Hawaiian league/ Committee of safety, Robert Wilcox, Queen Liliuokalani, and Lorrin Thurston, John Stevens, Sanford Dole, Jame Blount, Aloha Aina, American businessmen. The result of the Overthrow was unjustified.
The Overthrow happened on January 17, 1893 against the Hawaiian Kingdom. With the support of U.S. Minister Stevens, American troops, and the Committee of Safety, Queen Liliuokalani was forced to surrender the throne to the U.S. The Overthrow was caused mainly byunjustified thanks to Minister Stevens, who brought American troops towards Iolani Palace. , Although their action was illegal, and they held the Queen at gunpoint which was immoral. Also, it was unwarranted sincedue to the queen wasbeing against war and bloodshed, andso she really had no choice but to give up her throne if she didn’t want the chaos of physical violence happening.
Imperialism was a controversial idea that a nation can extend its power outward through means of diplomatic or military force. This often results in a shift of power from one major force currently in control to another. The people of that nation under control conflict may also experience wars, rebellions, or cultural destruction. Looking at some of these events, we see some positives and negatives of imperialistic action taken by the United States, and how it affected the nations imperialized by the United States. For starters, let’s look at Hawaii’s annexation.
American imperialism: the result of capitalism, business, and trade; the result of fear, competition with other countries, and the quest for furthering an economy—proven with the acquisition of Hawaii and the removal of its ruler, Queen Liliuokalani. Why and how did that happen, and in which ways did it impact the world? The United States removed Hawaii’s queen out of imperialism, an avarice for control of the rich natural resources, and the strategic military standpoint Hawaii provided them with. This changed Hawaii to a tourist base and sugarcane phenomenon, boosting the United States’s economy, but also caused a decline in the population of the Native Hawaiians. The possession of Hawaii also led to the United States’s involvement in World
Moana and the Effects of Polynesia Misrepresentations to Young Children Moana is seen by most children as a whimsical animated film about courage that is set in Polynesia and is based on a traditional story. The main character, Moana loves the sea and is the only daughter of a chief in a long line of navigators. The demigod Maui stole Te Fiti's heart, causing the fishermen on her island to be unable to catch fish and the crops begin to fail. The island can only be healed if Maui returns Te Fiti's heart, so Moana embarks on a journey across the Pacific to convince him to do so. However, despite the charade put up by Disney, there are some concerning things about the movie that should be taken into account.
The United State’s annexation of Hawaii in 1898 led to the gradual destruction of the Hawaiian culture and the almost-extinction of native-born Hawaiians. The majority of the Hawaiian natives opposed the annexation of Hawaii and wanted to maintain their sovereignty. Although the Japanese could have taken over the Hawaiian islands if the United States had not, the annexation of Hawaii by the U.S. was unjustified because of the treatment of the monarchy and natives, the infringement of the natives’ self-established culture and government, and the natives’ overwhelming opposition to the U.S’s involvement in Hawaii. From 1795 to 1874, the Kamehameha Dynasty ruled over the kingdom of the Hawaiian islands. Up until the death of Kamehameha III, the U.S. had stayed out of interfering with the islands.
Just below me, all around, unsuspected by me, were highways, boulevards, streets and roundabouts bustling with submarine traffic. In water that was dense, glassy, flecked by millions of lit-up specks of plankton, fish kike trucks and buses and cars and bicycles and pedestrians were madly racing about, no doubt honking and hollering at each other.” (194, Martel). Pi relates the unmarked highways of the ocean to the man-made highways across all land. This thought could have been comforting for Pi, as it was indeed a similarity between ocean-life and human-life.
The ocean could be a symbol for even society in that
