    (A) strong American support for imperialism; the US government immediately annexed Hawaii and embarked on plans to annex the Philippines and Cuba.

    Explanation:

    The overthrowing of the Kingdom of Hawaii occurred on January 17, 1893, after Queen Liliuokalani was ousted from her throne. The incident happened on the island of Oahu by foreigners living in Honolulu, which were citizens of the United States.

    They had the support of Minister John L. Stevens, so they could contact US Marines to "guarantee American interests". After the queen was overthrown, the rebels began the Hawaii Provisional Government which later changed to the Republic of Hawaii. Though the President at the time disapproved of this, the general sentiment was in support of American imperialism, which later paved the way for the annexation of the Philippines and Cuba, which started in 1898 for both countries.
