In mid 1800's U.S. businessmen overthrough Queen Liliuokalani and put her in house arrest in the Iolani Palace. Businessmen then set up hotels, railroads, and sugar plantations.

The U.S. was benefitedfrom this annexation because of the natrual reasources, resorts, and the locationin the Pacific Ocean that was used for a naval base.
