Hawaii
Although Hawaii has its own political power, not all countries recognized it at that time. Even Japan, which is far away from Asia, wants a share and keeps emigrating. However, after years of efforts, the Hawaiian government finally became pro-American and began to boycott Japanese activities. Japan has coveted Hawaii for a long time and signed a treaty. Why was it won by the United States?
In the 1980s, Japan's domestic economy developed rapidly, sending immigrants to Hawaii in an attempt to turn this archipelago in the middle of the ocean into its own colony. The Hawaiian Islands are also very close to the mainland of the United States, so Americans have never stopped plundering Hawaii's resources. At first, the Hawaiian regime welcomed the Japanese. The two countries also signed the Japan-Summer Friendship Treaty, and later signed the Maritime Treaty. Hawaii agreed to a large number of Japanese immigrants to Hawaii.
Naturally, the United States would not allow Japan to develop in this way, and immediately expressed disapproval of any country's attempt to annex Hawaii. In fact, at this time, the competition between the two countries for Hawaii has been in full swing. In the late 1980s, Japan immigrated tens of thousands of people to Hawaii, while few immigrants came from the United States. But Americans are mostly investors, while Japanese are more workers. This laid the foundation for the future victory of the United States.
Although the number of Americans is small, they control many important fields, such as religion, commerce, education and so on. American immigrants occupy a certain position. At this time, Americans began their best activity, secretly promoting a coup in Hawaii, overthrowing the past regime and establishing a pro-American Republic of Hawaii. This directly made Japan lose the opportunity, all previous treaties no longer came into force, and the battle of Hawaii ended in the victory of the United States.
