Answer 1

Hawaiian Queen Liliuokalani wanted to remove the 1887 amendment to the constitution, the Spanish-American War began in 1898 due to the explosion on the U.S.S. Maine, and the McKinley Tariff in 1890 led to increased industrialization in the U.S.

Hawaiian Queen Liliuokalani wanted to remove the 1887 amendment to the constitution.

The Spanish-American War began in 1898, and is called the first "media war."

In 1890, Congress passed the McKinley Tariff.

10. Hawaiian Queen Liliuokalani wanted to remove the 1887 amendment to the constitution because she believed it gave too much power to the American sugar planters in Hawaii. She wanted to regain control of the Hawaiian Kingdom and protect the interests of native Hawaiians.

5. The Spanish-American War began in 1898, and is called the first "media war" because yellow journalists blamed Spain for the U.S.S. Maine explosion and wrote sensational headlines calling for war. The media played a significant role in shaping public opinion and pushing the U.S. towards conflict with Spain.

5. In 1890, Congress passed the McKinley Tariff, which eliminated tariffs on Hawaiian sugar exports to the United States. This led to a dramatic increase in sugar exports and industrialization in the U.S., as business owners wanted to expand and have new markets for their goods.
