What were the effects of the annexation of Hawaii?

Answer 1

American Imperialism had a very profound effect on Hawaii. Once Hawaii had become a protectorate, American business men started arriving. As time passed, they made efforts to disenfranchise the Hawaiian people. For example, limiting voting rights to only wealthy people. This caused the Hawaiian legislature to be mainly composed of foreign legislators. When the Hawaiian queen ascended the throne and attempted to bring more equality to the island, an American, Sanford B. Dole (as in Dole bananas), seized power, and had her arrested and imprisoned. Dole and the other businessmen were instrumental in turning Hawaii into a Republic, which had Dole, rather than a native Hawaiian, as its first president.
