Was the annexation of Hawaii justified

History

Lorico [155]4 years ago
7 0

The answer to this really depends on what prism you are viewing it from?

As a globe, we are pretty opposed to imperialism these days. China has started to dabble a little more in the South China Sea but we mostly have our nation states and there isn't really a lot of movement.

That was not the case at the time of annexation.

So, is it ethical to subsume a sovereign nation? No

Was it strategically justifiable at the time? Yes. If the United States had not annexed Hawaii, the Empire of Japan likely would have stepped in.

Hawaii has enormous strategic value and was then justifiable at the time of annexation.

That being said, and I hope this is an obvious statement, imperialism is not a good thing and is ethically problematic.

01. How did railroads most affect the economic growth of the United States?​
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

At the rise of the Industrial Age, or the Gilded Age, railroads became the industrial epicenter. With the completion of the transcontinental railroad, the movement of supplies and goods became easier, faster, and much more efficient. However, large railroad corporations began to monopolize the market and buy out small businesses before they could take a toll on their service. The economic growth of the United States is due, a considerable amount, to the railroads. The railroads most affected the growth of the economy through the transportation of goods. It became easier for businesses to manufacture or produce goods, transport them, and sell them to make more profit.
