At this time, the American economy was expanding rapidly and American business owners wanted new markets to sell their goods to. Along with this, many wealth Americans had plantations in Hawaii where they dominated the pineapple and fruit production business. To ensure that this financial success continued, these people wanted the US to add Hawaii. Considering Hawaii's strategic location in the Pacific Ocean and natural resources, the US government agreed and helped overthrow the monarchy previously established.
