This was a fairly convoluted mess.
Hawaii became a prized location for it's production of pineapples and other highly valuable products.
It attracted the likes of American, European money men - big business men with the knowledge of how to build their own little country.
Hawaii also attracted a mega amount of foreign laborers -- from South America and, most dangerously, Japan.
Queen Liliuokalani BEGGED the US to annex Hawaii 3 times.
In 1898 President of the United States William McKinley signed the treaty of annexation for Hawaii, but it failed in the Senate.
The American/European business interests had a LOT of pull --- a lot of people in Washington had money invested in it also.
These American/European business interests decided to take over the country for themselves -- exactly what the Queen was afraid of.
After the failure, Hawaii was annexed by means of joint resolution, called the Newlands Resolution.
The American/Europeans decided to set up a government totally amongst themselves -- making their own little country.
Which would be awesome for THEM -- the US power sitting in the harbor.
Queen Liliuokalani knew this and needed to get the Hawaiian back into Hawaii and be citizens instead of hard labor--- she requested to the US once again for full annexation of Hawaii to the US and sited unlawful take-over of government offices and the removal of the royal family.
With Japan watching everything -- the US Senate finally decided full annexation, which would eventually advance to statehood.
It would also curb the activities of their citizens with illusions of kindomship.

new communications technology has affected the way social movements are organized because nowadays, social movements rely on social networks and the media to get different people with a similar way of thinking in contact, and thus, get them to mobilize for a greater cause.

individuals only participate in collective action when they feel identified with it. is in this aspect that social media becomes relevant, because it guarantees communication among all individuals and organizes the social actions that are going to be carried out, i.e., the social movements.

in addition, being covered by the media is important to validate the message and make it relevant in the social agenda, as well as to reach more people who can share interests, appealing to public sympathy for their cause.

in conclusion, it is by social networks and social media that social movement is given birth; by connecting different individuals with similar ideas and organizing them to mobilize for a greater cause.
