1. It was a gateway to the Klondike gold fields.

2. This was a fairly convoluted mess.
Hawaii became a prized location for it's production of pineapples and other highly valuable products.
It attracted the likes of American, European money men - big business men with the knowledge of how to build their own little country.
Hawaii also attracted a mega amount of foreign laborers -- from South America and, most dangerously, Japan.
Queen Liliuokalani BEGGED the US to annex Hawaii 3 times.
In 1898 President of the United States William McKinley signed the treaty of annexation for Hawaii, but it failed in the Senate.
The American/European business interests had a LOT of pull --- a lot of people in Washington had money invested in it also.
These American/European business interests decided to take over the country for themselves -- exactly what the Queen was afraid of.
After the failure, Hawaii was annexed by means of joint resolution, called the Newlands Resolution.
The American/Europeans decided to set up a government totally amongst themselves -- making their own little country.
Which would be awesome for THEM -- the US power sitting in the harbor.
Queen Liliuokalani knew this and needed to get the Hawaiian back into Hawaii and be citizens instead of hard labor--- she requested to the US once again for full annexation of Hawaii to the US and sited unlawful take-over of government offices and the removal of the royal family.
With Japan watching everything -- the US Senate finally decided full annexation, which would eventually advance to statehood.
It would also curb the activities of their citizens with illusions of kingdomship.

3. On April 25, 1898 the United States declared war on Spain following the sinking of the Battleship Maine in Havana harbor on February 15, 1898.

Read an excerpt from a speech by benito mussolini. italy! italy! entirely and universally fascist! the italy of the blackshirt revolution, rise to your feet; let the cry of your determination rise to the skies and reach our soldiers in east africa. let it be a comfort to those who are about to fight. let it be an encouragement to our friends and a warning to our enemies. it is the cry of italy which goes beyond the mountains and the seas out into the great world. it is the cry of justice and of victory. how does this excerpt support the idea that mussolini was a charismatic dictator? it shows how he used persuasive language to rally citizens. it explains his use of an aggressive foreign policy in europe. it shows how he used a secret police force to terrorize citizens. it explains how he used education to indoctrinate young people.
