Final answer:
The correct sequence of Hawaiian historical events is: the monarch's abolition of the old religion, Queen Liliuokalani's restoration attempt of Hawaiian power, U.S. annexation as territory, and Hawaii's admission as the 50th U.S. state.
Step-by-step explanation:
To correctly drag and drop these events into the correct order one must understand the historical context of Hawaii's annexation and statehood. The correct sequence is as follows:
(B) The monarch abolished the old religion and the people were left without rules or laws.
(A) Queen Liliuokalani restored the power to the Hawaiian people.
(D) The United States annexed Hawaii as territory.
(C) Hawaii became the 50th state in the USA.
To elaborate, the old religion was abolished by the monarchy prior to the events of the late 19th century. Queen Liliuokalani then attempted to restore power to the Hawaiian people through her proposed new constitution.
However, her efforts were thwarted when a group of American businessmen and landowners, backed by U.S. marines, overthrew her government in a bloodless coup. Eventually, the U.S. formally annexed Hawaii in 1898. Finally, Hawaii was admitted to the United States as the 50th state in 1959 after a popular referendum.
