Annexation of Hawaii
5
Why did we want Hawaii?
Imperialism The Economic and Political Control
of a Powerful Nation over a Weaker One. Many
industrialized countries all over the world were
expanding via imperialism during this time frame.
(1870's-1914)
6
Hawaii had a lot to offer
We wanted Hawaii for three reasons 1) Great
soil to grow sugar cane! 2) Great Harbor for a
naval base (Pearl Harbor) 3) Great supply point
for trips to and from Asia.
7
We took Hawaii
Sugar Plantations were plentiful in
Hawaii. Plantations required cheap labor and
people began going to Hawaii to work, including
Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese, Filipinos,
Spanish and Puerto Ricans. U.S. Plantation
Investors were concerned they would lose their
investments to foreigners.
8
Why did the US want to expand?
1) To Compete with European Expansion around the
world 2) Build up America's Navy 3) Increase
foreign markets and resources 4) Share American
Ideals with 'less fortunate' people.

Monroe Doctrine
Proclamation in 1823 by President James Monroe.
Basically, it warned European nations not to get
involved in political matters in Central and
South America. The Doctrine was intended to show
that the United States was the only country that
could influence such political matters. Further,
several countries in South American had recently
undergone revolutions against their European
colonial owners and ended up with republican
governments. The United States agreed with their
political philosophy and did not want to see
those newly free nations become European colonies
again.
