Explanation:

1. The title is directly visible on the timeline as "The Annexation of Hawaii".
2. The timeline shows that in 1898, President McKinley signed a resolution annexing Hawaii to the United States.
3. Religious interest: "1820 First U.S. missionaries arrive to spread Christianity" - key - word "missionaries" and "spread Christianity". Military interest: "1887 The United States gains exclusive rights to enter Pearl Harbor and establish a naval base there" - key - word "naval base". Economic interest: "1875 Hawaii signs the Reciprocity treaty, a free - trade agreement, with the U.S." - key - word "free - trade agreement".
4. The annexation was not justified as it involved overthrowing a sovereign monarchy (the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani in 1893) and was driven by self - serving economic and military interests rather than the will of the Hawaiian people.
5. In the early 1900s, the U.S. could benefit from becoming an imperial power by gaining access to new commercial markets (C) as it could expand trade, and bringing democracy to other nations (B) was a stated but often self - serving justification for imperialist actions. Tourism was not a major factor at the time of early 1900s imperialism and the U.S. had no ability to control global weather patterns. Cultural assimilation was more of a consequence rather than a primary benefit.
