The United States annexed Hawaii as a result of a US victory over Spain in the Spanish-American War.
by purchasing the islands from Russia.
in order to create the Panama Canal.
after supporting planters in an overthrow of the queen.

The United States wanted Hawaii to acquire its islands and because it was a port way to China, East India and Asia. Not only did they want the islands, but they wanted their naval base. They wanted their naval base for war so they would have another advantage to help defeat the other country.

Hope it helps!!!

the answer is c. they believed the royal family should hold all the power.
