What was President Cleveland’s view of the Hawaiian Revolution? He opposed annexation and with withdrew treaty from the senate when he found out the Hawaiians did not support the revolt. He also called American interference in the Hawaiian revolution “disgraceful”.

The U.S. minister to Hawaii, John L. Stevens, worked closely with the new government. Dole sent a delegation to Washington in 1894 seeking annexation, but the new President, Grover Cleveland, opposed annexation and tried to restore the Queen. Dole declared Hawaii an independent republic.

President Cleveland received Queen Liliuokalani and her daughter, Princess Kaiulanikaiolani and heeded their appeal to preserve Hawaii’s monarchy. He dispatched James Blount, a former chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, to Hawaii to study Stevens’ role and other events in the revolution.

After withdrawing the annexation treaty, Cleveland sent an emissary (Blount) to investigate the circumstances surrounding the revolution and the situation in Hawaii. The report stated that the provisional government was not established with the consent or approval of the Hawaiian people.

Paulet went to the Kingdom of Hawaii seeking legal redress for British citizens after he had been told by the previous British Consul Richard Carlton that the Kingdom of Hawai’i was ignored the rights of British citizens and that it had seized land that was rightfully his.

Kingdom of Hawaii. The Kingdom of Hawaii lasted from 1795 until its overthrow in 1893 with the fall of the House of Kalakaua.

Hawaii belongs to Japan, the Japanese press suddenly proclaims. Tokyo publishes ancient maps and documents that purport to show that the Hawaiian islands were historically part of the Japanese homeland until they were illegally annexed by the Americans.

The Hawaiian flag upside down is a sign of protest against the United States government. Most commonly, it is to represent the solidarity movement of Hawaii. This is rooted in the notion that when Queen Liliuokalani was overthrown in 1893, what followed was an illegal occupation by the United States.

The Japanese intended the attack as a preventive action to keep the United States Pacific Fleet from interfering with its planned military actions in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States.

In short, Japanese tourists love Hawaiian honey for the same reasons everyone does: because it’s natural, unique, sweet, healthy, and delicious.

The state of Hawaii is about 2400 mi. (4000 km) from California and about 4000 mi. (6500 km) from Japan.

The first 153 Japanese immigrants arrived in Hawaii on February 8, 1885, as contract laborers for the sugarcane and pineapple plantations. Many more Japanese immigrants came to Hawaii in the following years. Most of these migrants came from southern Japan (Hiroshima, Yamaguchi, Kumamoto, etc.)

In truth, the Japanese never had the slightest chance of successfully invading Hawaii, whether they triumphed at Midway or not. The main reason for this is the logistical ability of Japan to wage the Pacific War. The Japanese can’t mount an operation against Hawaii until August, 1942.

Imperial Japan didn’t want Hawaii, it was too far away from their primary manufacturing/production land (in simple terms). The only reason they attacked Pearl Harbor was to quickly and effectively decimate the USN’s inactive Pacific fleet in order to conquer all of Southeast Asia without major opposition.

At the time of the Pearl Harbor attack there were no plans for the Japanese to invade Hawaii. There were some vague inquiries into the possibility of a Hawaii invasion, but wargaming in September 1941 dissuaded the Japanese of any successful land invasion at that time. This plan was bitterly opposed by the Army.

With no invasion by Japan the Chinese Civil War would have just dragged on. Despite being outmanned and outgunned, the Communist forces may have very well been able to turn the tide due to overwhelming support by the population.
