When Queen Liliuokalani became the Queen of Hawaii she believed in Hawaii should be their own country and Americans shouldn’t bother them with re-planting sugar and selling the sugar in their own country.  The Americans gave the Queen one last chance to agree with her or they would threaten to start war and overtake Hawaii.  The Queen didn’t agree with the Americans.

In January 1893 American marines stormed the islands to fully take Hawaii as their own country.  This forced Queen Liliuokalani to abdicate her throne because she had no protection.  America since then owned Hawaii.

The Americans used the McKinley tarriff to take Hawaii as their land.

This tactic was used to reduce the amount of money that was being payed to the Hawaiians to get the sugar and to make sugar cane non-foreign to America because the Americans claimed Hawaii.

Grover Cleveland became the new U.S president in 1885

Cleveland withdrew the treaty for the purpose of reaxmination.  He then received Queen Liliuokalani and took the American flag off the island and put the Hawaiian flag back.

Finally Cleveland made the statement “the wrong has been done” and claimed that the United States did the wrong thing.  Hawaii was then restored to their own government.

Pearl Harbor became the largest Naval bases for the United States in 1910.  They used this method so they could attack Germany with better and faster attacks.  The Japanese weren’t fighting against Germans and couldn’t care less what they were doing in the war.

On December 7, 1941, the Americans lost a big portion of defense from the country.  Japanese planes attacked Pearl Harbor with a surprise attack and sunk many ships including the U.S.S Arizona and many more.  This event was one of the only events in United States history that we lost a battle.
