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

History
1 answer:
guapka [62]3 years ago

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.

King tuts achievements?
kotegsom [21]
King Tut, originally named Tutankhamun, was born circa 1341 BCE. His father, Akhenaten, was pharaoh of Egypt and had forbidden the worship of many gods. Akhenaten only favored the worshiping of one god, Aten. According to Biography.com, it seemed his intent was to reduce the power of the priests and shift the economy to a new regime run by military commanders and local government administrators.
After Akhenaten's reign came to an end, King Tut became the new pharaoh. King Tut's reign only lasted around 10 years, and he disappeared from history until his tomb was discovered in 1922. Over the years, studies have discovered King Tut broke his leg, developing an infection, and that he had malaria. However, the cause of King Tut's death remains a mystery. Howard Carter, a British archaeologist, and George Herbert discovered the tomb, a fact which garnered worldwide news coverage. The discovery of King Tut sparked a renewed interest in ancient Egyptian history, both in popular culture and history museums around the world.

1000 word essay on Columbus hero or villain
Soloha48 [4]
Columbus is a villain. He took credit like any other white man hungry for fame. He wasn't the 1st person to discover America. The vikings did but they didn't "document" the discovery as much as Christopher did. Christopher wasn't even the 1st person to spot the Americas. Christopher was completely wrong about his discovery. History continues to repeat itself over and aver again. White men suppressing minorities for their self-less gain in power. White people raped people, caused wars, slavery, dept, etc. This one of the reasons why people today have so many races in their family tree. Even white people brought over diseases from Europe. Christopher Columbus is a villain. He didn't deserve the credit.

Which of the following could be considered a negative side effect to instant information? A. the creation of the Associated Pres
krok68 [10]
B. The Panic of 1857.

The Panic of 1857 is the first recorded economic crisis of the world.

This is because Britain repealed the requirements of the Peel Banking Act of 1844.

This act required British currency to be backed by silver and gold. Therefore giving the current actual value, because of rare items equal value.

Becuase of instant information, the public and the world immediately learned about this, and therefore lost trust and security in Great Britain's currency.

This, therefore, leads to the Panic of 1857.


A. the creation of the Associated Press
This is not a bad side effect.

C. the Industrial Revolution
This is not a bad side effect at all, however, one of the greatest advancements in technology that boosted the worldwide economy.

D. Transcontinental Railroad
Once again, this is not a bad side effect, and instead is an extremely important development in American economics.

Hope this helps!
