Why Hawaii was Annexed

Hawaii was Annexed for more than being a beautiful island. Hawaii was wanted for their resources. Hawaii made over 13 million dollars in profit for their merchandise. The state was also wanted to expand the United States’ territory. Hawaii was located in the pacific, this is great for the U.S. This helped the U.S. become even more powerful. Another reason why Hawaii was Annexed was because the United States were afraid of the Japanese having an attack in them.
