Question

1. which of the following were consequences of the annexation of hawaii? select all that apply.

improved relations with european powers
u.s. control over the hawaiian economy
preservation of hawaiian culture
loss of hawaiian sovereignty

Explanation:

• "improved relations with European powers": The annexation of Hawaii was more about U.S. expansion in the Pacific, not improving relations with European powers, so this is incorrect.
• "U.S. control over the Hawaiian economy": After annexation, the U.S. exerted significant control over Hawaii's economy (e.g., sugar industry, trade), so this is a consequence.
• "preservation of Hawaiian culture": Annexation led to the suppression of Hawaiian culture (e.g., language, traditions) as U.S. culture and systems were imposed, so this is incorrect.
• "loss of Hawaiian sovereignty": When Hawaii was annexed by the U.S., Hawaii lost its status as an independent nation, so this is a consequence.

Answer:

B. U.S. control over the Hawaiian economy
D. loss of Hawaiian sovereignty
