Content: The take over of the United States annexing Hawaii
The United States did use some force, but it was a bloodless revolution. On January 5th, 1895 an armed revolt was in attempt to stop the annexation of Hawaii. 21,269 or 39,000 Hawaiians opposed the annexation. The government met up with Liliuokalani (the queen) who was already in the United States also fighting the annexation because she was removed from the throne and she blamed the annexation and the United States. In the US, they created a petition to the senate, they met in Washington on February 27th, 1898 where 46 of them were with the annexation. Finally, in 1898, Hawaii was annexed and in 1959 became part of the United States. " When the Hawaiian islands were formally annexed by the United States in 1898, the event marked end of a lengthy internal struggle between native Hawaiians and white American businessmen for control of the Hawaiian government" (Nation Archives).
