Liliuokalani tried to gain power by changing the laws of the constitution. In 1893, a revolution brought out the Republic of Hawaii. The United States annexed Hawaii in 1898 and two years later made it an official U.S. territory. All Hawaiians became citizens of the United States.The United States declines to give aid to Hungarian patriots in 1849 This is isolationism, isolationism is the policy of avoiding political interactions with another country. It doesn’t totally close off America from other countries. This is how the political climate of the 1930s was described in the US. Isolationism can support military actions that help the US maintain independent skills. The US didn’t get involved in the issue because it went against the beliefs of the time. We couldn’t provide help in an efficient way anyway. Our armies were small and the navy was tiny too. And we had no influence over in Europe anyway. So by declining to aid Hungary we actually were avoiding harm to out own country.

    Beautiful beaches, tropical fruits, amazing volcanoes and an aesthetic view, that description makes many people think of the beautiful Hawaii. What some people don’t know is the history of how Hawaii became a part of the USA. Hawaii was annexed by having to overthrow its leader, and by destroying its government. “In January 1893, the planters staged an uprising to overthrow the Queen. At the same time, they appealed to the United States armed forces for protection” (ushistory.org). Many people debate on the justification of this action. They believe it was an injustice to Hawaii and its people, but really it was a justified action. It was justified because this act brought a lot of profit for America, it was imperialism (social darwinism), and if America had not annexed Hawaii another country most likely would have. The annexation of Hawaii was a justified action by the American Government.…

    Imperialism, as defined by the Dictionary of Human Geography, is "the creation and/or maintenance of an unequal economic, cultural, and territorial relationship, usually between states and often in the form of an empire, based on domination and subordination." Imperialism, as described by that work is primarily a Western undertaking that employs "expansionist, mercantilist policies".[1] Lewis Samuel Feuer identifies two major subtypes of imperialism; the first is "regressive imperialism" identified with pure conquest, unequivocal exploitation, extermination or reductions of undesired peoples, and settlement of desired peoples into those territories, an example being Nazi Germany.[2] The second type identified by Feurer is "progressive imperialism" that is founded upon a cosmopolitan view of humanity, that promotes the spread of civilization to allegedly "backward" societies to elevate living standards and culture in conquered territories, and allowance of a conquered people to assimilate into the imperial society, examples being the Roman Empire and British Empire.[2]…
