Due: Friday,  Jan 30th 

Value: 20 points

Upon completing your homework titled, “The Annexation of Hawaii,” and after watching the documentary, "Hawaii's Last Queen," you should have a better understanding of imperialism and the motives that cause strong nations to overpower weaker nations. You saw Queen Liliuokalini's unsuccessful struggle to keep her Hawaiian people independent of foreign rule. You witnessed her faith in the American government as she gave up her throne with optimistic thoughts that her power would be restored in the near future. Hawaii was annexed as an American territory in 1898 and eventually became the 50th state in 1959.

Answer the following questions  in 2 separate paragraphs on a word document in MLA format. (you do not need a works cited page) Plagiarism will result in a grade of a zero.

First paragraph:
Explain how Americans gained political and economic power in Hawaii. Be sure to include specific details about the missionaries, Queen Liliuokalini's childhood, the Bayonet Constitution, foreign influences on Hawaiian culture, the role of powerful businessmen like Sanford Dole, etc. Use your video sheet and homework to help with this paragraph. This should be a well-developed paragraph. (8-10 sentences)

Second paragraph:

Explain how the documentary was portrayed through the Queen's perspective. You often heard excerpts from her diary, which described her thoughts and feelings. Was this an effective way to tell the story? Do you think the program tried to persuade viewers to sympathize with the Hawaiian Queen and people? What are your thoughts and feelings about the Hawaiian annexation? Be specific in your argument in providing details from the documentary and homework. This should also be a well-developed paragraph.
