In 1893, a political committee composed of Americans and Europeans overthrew the sovereign nation of:
  1. Cuba
  2. Puerto Rico
  3. The Philippines
  4. Spain
  5. Hawaii
Explanation
Answer: E - American and European interests formed a Committee of Safety in the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1887, and then overthrew the queen in 1893. Subsequent U.S.-commissioned government investigations differed in their attributions of blame for the event. Nevertheless, Hawaii was annexed as a U.S. territory in 1898. A century after the overthrow, the American government formally apologized for their role in the ouster of then-Queen Lili’uokalani.
