Answer:

Business Interests is the correct answer.

Explanation:

During 1830's American leaders were afraid that Hawaii would fall in hands of a European power when Britain and France both forced Hawaii to accept treaties.  Alarmed by this american leaders signed Treaty of Friendship with Hawaii in 1849.  Soon Hawaii became a provisioning spot for American whaling ships  and sugar plantation. The Hawaiian economy became more integrated when the two signed 1875 trade exchange treaty and the white Americans began to dominate Hawaiin economy and politics.  But when the Us government introduced McKinley Tariff, it raised the import rates on foreign sugar. Most of the  sugar planters knew that if Hawaii is annexed by US the the tariff issue would vanish. The planters staged an uprising and force that Queen to abdicate. It was formally annexed when the war broke out with Spain and the islands became significant for the US navy. A joint resolution was signed by president William McKinley.

World war 2
kramer

Based on the information in the excerpt, the United States brought Nazi leaders to military tribunals in Germany AFTER the end of World War II. <em>(a)</em>

BUT ... To our country's lasting shame, the horrors being inflicted on racially-selected segments of Germany's civilian population were well known to the US DURING the war, but our government did little or nothing to impede this barbaric activity and preserve civilian lives.  

For example, the railroad tracks that guided the cattle-cars full of Jews to their torture, starvation, and death at Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibor, and Bergen-Belsen could have been disabled with a few well-placed bombs, easily, cheaply, and with minimal military risk.  But they were not.

The ovens in the concentration camps, or the camps themselves, could have been rendered operationally useless with a few well-placed bombs, easily, cheaply, and with minimal military risk.  But they were not.
