Many don’t know what exactly happened to start the overthrow of the Monarchy in Hawaii. First, let’s start with some background. Many years ago, Hawaii was Republican, during the time sugar cane and farming pineapple were its main industries. What people don’t know is that people were prospering back then even under Monarchy control, and the GOP. Queen Liliuokalani did indeed yield to the American Federal Government to avoid bloodshed.

Who overthrew her? Yes, it was businessmen. But it wasn’t businessmen from the right-wing, the ideological factors don’t match up. The right-wing doesn’t believe in revolution, and they had their way because at the time the GOP was in power. It was other current events happening, although, that would change that, although.

Congress can legislate annexation. All they need is 2/3rds of the states to recognize the new “state” as a state, and they are a new state. Under international law (which I don’t recognize as legitimate), any land taken under military conquest is finders’ keepers, so to speak or the spoils of war. Or the victors get to keep what they take. So, at the time everything was on the up and up, even though morally, the annexation may have been not so morally right.

What was the triggering factor? The only thing that seems to fit the bill is that Queen Liliuokalani Licensed the sale of Opium the year before the overthrow, according to historical records. Just like in modern day, the leftist businessmen were dirty. Or they didn’t want her to hurt their sales (I believe by then America had outlawed opium sales anyway).

Legally, what happened in the small details, really doesn’t matter, the larger details did. In Congress and in the United States Executive, what they did was 100% legal. The United States of America did nothing wrong when it came to Annexation of Hawaii. It’s the people Locally that were to blame for the Annexation of Hawaii, and what they told the American Government.

It is true that America wanted Hawaii because it is a strategic point. But so did Russia, China, the UK, and other world powers. Be thankful that a different country didn’t make it to Hawaii first and get power first, like Russia did with Cuba. The Author would rather be American than a Brit, or under Russian rule. To hell with what the left says.

To wrap things up, the author won’t post sources, he expects the reader to do their own deep dive research and prove him wrong. If you’re too lazy, don’t complain about what he posts.
