America wanted to annex hawaii because they needed more power and were afraid that the Japanese would take over. If America had Hawaii they would gain more power and would be able to "protect" them from the Japanese empire. I think this because in the image shown you can see that someone is going to put an american hat on land meaning that America is claiming that Hawaii is theirs.

America  annexed Hawaii because I think they didn't want the Japanese to get to them first, or because mckinley thought that americans had a job to rule over all inferior people

America annexed Hawaii because they wanted to take over the money they made from producing sugar and the association they had with Japanese people. An example, is the cartoon we saw which tries to cover the Hawaii volcano with an American Hat and the volcano being partnered up with a Japanese person.

I think america wanted to annex Hawaii so they can build more into their sugar industry. but, they annexed hawaii before japan annexed hawaii.

America wanted to annex Hawaii because they wanted to grow their empire before the Japanese Empire could annex Hawaii. For example, in the picture one can see that Hawaii is the bottom of the volcano and a Japanese person’s head is on top of the volcano with the words “Japanese Ambition” under the head. One can also see a hat representing the U.S which is being put on the volcano which is representing America annexing Hawaii.

America annexed Hawaii because they were afraid Japan would annex them before they could and  they wanted the resources Hawaii could offer them. For example in the picture it showed the words “Japanese ambition” and in the video it said that America stopped sealing Hawaii's sugar and they were really big in the sugar industry and America wanted to take over their plantations so they wanted the  queen to sign her rights over to America. - Olivia

I think that America wanted to annex or take away one of the biggest plantation(sugar thing) to make their company look stronger and bigger/popular.

America Annexed Hawaii because they wanted to grow their empire and Hawaii would be be a good country to annex to grow their empire. For Example in the image it showing someone putting a american hat on top meaning claiming that it's theirs.

America wanted to annex Hawaii because there were probably other countries/states already trying to annex Hawaii. For example, it said ‘Japanese Ambition’ on the bottom as a title so the Japanese might be taking risks and trying to annex Hawaii.

# data[].attributes.body
America wanted to annex Hawaii because they saw how much growth they were having in the sugar industry that they believed Hawaii would form an alliance with Japan and becoming stronger in fear that they may over throw America

# data[].attributes.body
America annexed Hawaii because they wanted to control them and their government. America wanted what Hawaii had. For Hawaii had sugar plantations and an alliance with Japanese people. They were afraid Hawaii would take over or over throw America.

America annexed Hawaii because they wanted to stop Japan from having Hawaii.

I said America annexed Hawaii because they wanted to better their sugar companies but they were also in competition with Japan so that probably made them want to more if that makes sense idk in the image you can see both of them on the island idk

America wanted to annex hawaii because they wanted to stop Japanese ambition. For example, one detail that supports my ideas is in the image they are trying to cover Japanese ambition with an american hat.

America annexed Hawaii because the Japanese Ambition annexed Hawaii but they don’t know how to control it. One detail, is the political cartoon’s title saying “The Only Way to Stop Those Periodical Eruptions.” This shows that the only way to control Hawaii the right way is for America to annex it.

America wanted to annex Hawaii because of the power/resources that they could get them in the Pacfic area. For example, the EdPuzzle video mentioned that annexation wasn’t Hawaii’s main focus since they were dealing with a constitution that they didn’t agree with. Since the queen had people who betrayed her, America could’ve taken advantage of that current situation to annex Hawaii for their sugar and land-placement.

America wanted to annex Hawaii because they thought it was the only way to stop Hawaii from taking away resources. For example in the photo there is a hand putting a hat on the volcano. As if to say “you are a part of America now, so you do what we want.”
