Answer:

D.She wanted to avoid bloodshed.​

Explanation:

After a century of American rule, many native Hawaiians remain bitter about how the United States acquired the islands, located 2,500 miles from the West Coast. In 1893, a small group of sugar and pineapple-growing businessmen, aided by the American minister to Hawaii and backed by heavily armed U.S. soldiers and marines, deposed Hawaii's queen. Subsequently, they imprisoned the queen and seized 1.75 million acres of crown land and conspired to annex the islands to the United States.

On January 17, 1893, the conspirators announced the overthrow of the queen's government. To avoid bloodshed, Queen Lydia Kamakaeha Liliuokalani yielded her sovereignty and called upon the U.S. government "to undo the actions of its representatives." The U.S. government refused to help her regain her throne. When she died in 1917, Hawaii was an American territory. In 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state after a plebiscite in which 90 percent of the islanders supported statehood.

Ne4ueva [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

When studying history, asking questions and checking other sources will improve one's perspective. The other awareness necessary is "To realize all writers and reporters have some bias of culture, geography, economics or politics".

<u>Explanation:</u>

History has been documented since the dawn of civilization, it is necessary to look into the main historical records and comprehend each perspective.   Ability to understand history means not to be biased with your understanding base, each era has a justification why these events had occurred. Each writer has one or the other bias and this has affected the activities they write. Thus when reading books a viewer should take this into account.
