Answer 2

The decision to annex Hawaii was a controversial one. Although US business leaders in Hawaii promoted the annexation, most Hawaiians were against it. Make a list of arguments that support the US annexation of Hawaii. Select one argument and write a brief justification of 50 to 60 words.

this is the full question for plato this is the answer for it

List of arguments for the annexation of Hawaii:

Hawaii was too small and weak to maintain independence

no protest from any other government

"cordial consent" of both governments

strategic location to secure US fleet and US coastline

commercial  interests of business and trade in Hawaii

"outpost of Americanism against increasing Asiatic invasion"

Justification: The commercial interests of business and trade in Hawaii were major factors that contributed to its annexation. The United States had become highly dependent on sugar and other Hawaiian products. The United States’ main concern was that if any other nation colonized Hawaii, it would harm US trade activities. The United States would have to abide by the laws of the nation that colonized Hawaii, which could make trading with Hawaii more expensive for the United States. So it was in the best interest of the United States to annex Hawaii.
