The Age of Imperialism

1. 1)Iolani Palace in Honolulu, Hawaii.

2) Queen Liliuokalani

3)The Hawaiian monarchy ended in a day of bloodless revolution. Queen Liliuokalani reigned for just two years and was then overthrown in 1893 by a group led by Sanford Dole. This effort was backed with the threat of force from combined forces of the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The American minister in Hawaii, John L. Stevens, had troops take over Iolani Palace, the Honolulu residence of the Queen, as well as other governmental buildings and in 1894, the Queen was deposed, ending centuries of monarchial rule and establishing the Republic of Hawaii with Sanford Dole as its first president.

2.This article about the weekly New York World, talks about how Pulitzer got the attention of the public who waited excitedly for Sunday mornings, when they would get the newspaper. The writer tells us that Pulitzer put fascinating pictures that led the readers to the stories and the headlines with different interesting fonts. He separated each column, so every person, every age, could enjoy reading his newspaper. Pulitzer was also the first one to hire female journalists. And most of his resources came from the idea of experiencing each one of them and then adapting it to go on the paper.

3.William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer were charged in getting America involved in the Spanish-American War, because they grabbed attention of the public into the matter. Both exaggerated and even invented part of the whole story, practicing the yellow journalism. They used to say that the Spanish were way more brutal than they really were, causing the public to side with the rebels. Cubans, who wanted to be independent, took advantage of this and emphasized even more their problems and how they were treated. The Spanish were balmed for everything that hurt the Cuban. So the government took action and fought with Spain to free Cuba. Even though the war only lasted a couple of months, it still killed many people that could have lived if it wasn't those exaggerated articles.
