Question

In which of the following territories did the native inhabitants receive U.S. citizenship in 1900? Option 1: Guam Option 2: Hawaii Option 3: Puerto Rico Option 4: Alaska

Answer 1

Answer: Hawaii

Explanation: By 1853, the native population was down to 70,000. In 1893, American colonists controlled Hawaii's sugar-based economy, and they easily overthrew the kingdom and established the Republic of Hawaii. With the agreement of the mostly American elite, the U.S. annexed Hawaii as a territory in 1898.
