Why did the queen of Hawaii yield her authority to the United States?

History

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.

What nation has had the only true theocracy?
alexira [117]
The country with true theocracy is Israel. Israel is gradually however unyieldingly transforming into a moderate religious government while the Diaspora is to a great extent devoted to liberal vote based system. Israel is no vote based system, and it never has been concerning the 4 million Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza. It has dependably been a strongly defective vote based system concerning its own particular Arab residents.
