Parrain

American expansionists wanted Hawaii for various reasons but none of them had to do with C. preventing Spain from taking over Hawaii .

In the year 1898, Hawaii was officially annexed by the United States after it had been controlled by American businessmen for a couple of years after they overthrew the monarchy there in 1893.

The U.S. agreed to annex Hawaii for reasons such as:

  • Operating coaling stations that would fuel ships going to Asia
  • Controlling the valuable sugar plantations in Hawaii
  • Establishing a naval base

Hawaii was an independent state before the Americans annexed it and the Spanish were not at that point, interested in taking over so that was not a reason for the annexation.

In conclusion, Hawaii was not annexed because the Spanish wanted to take over.
