American Imperialism.
The sugar plantation owners.
It could be called American Imperialim but in truth it was a few wealthy and politically well connected businessmen seeking financial advantage who ended the Kingdom of Hawaii and created the Bayonet Constitution.
In 1898.
The Hawaiian Islands.
The annexation of the Hawaiian Islands was primarily pushed by American sugar planters and business interests, notably figures like Sanford B. Dole. In 1893, a group of these planters, with the support of the U.S. military, overthrew Queen Liliʻuokalani. The islands were officially annexed by the United States in 1898, becoming a U.S. territory in 1900, which ultimately led to Hawaii becoming the 50th state in 1959.
The reason there is no answer is because it wasn't. No treaty of annexation ever took place. Hawaii is an occupied nation state.
In 1893, Queen Liliʻuokalani of Hawaii was overthrown in a coup led by American and European businessmen, leading to the eventual annexation of Hawaii by the United States in 1898. There was no surrender of the Hawaiian islands in 1873; the significant events surrounding Hawaii's annexation occurred in the late 19th century. The U.S. established a strong presence in Hawaii, culminating in its annexation, but the formal surrender and annexation process occurred later.
It was formerly another group who wanted to overthrow the Hawaiian Monarch Government of Hawaii which was the "Hawaiian League" also now known as the "Annexation Club".
The unsuccessful attempt to maintain native control of the Hawaiian Islands was led by Queen Liliʻuokalani in the early 1890s. Following the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893, she sought to restore her rule and the sovereignty of her people. Her efforts ultimately failed, leading to the annexation of Hawaii by the United States in 1898.
Yes, the Hawaiian Islands are a result of a convergent plate boundary. The Pacific Plate is moving northwestward and is being subducted beneath the North American Plate, which has created the volcanic activity that formed the islands.
