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.

Ksju [112]
The Soviet Union wanted to spread its communist ideologies. By creating the Berlin Wall, Soviet Union prevented the possible escaping attempts that may have occurred by the civilians that were under control. The United States tried to prevent the spreading of communism by sending aid to countries that were in need. This performance was known as the Marshall Plan. In the end, Soviet Union was brought down because it was not as superior as the United States became. I hope this summed up an answer for you!
