What great institution did the United States gain exclusive use of due to the Renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty in 1887?

  • Pearl Harbor

  • Iolani Palace

  • Hawaii's sugar plantations

  • The Hawaiian Royal Treasury

Answer

In 1887, the Renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty gave the United States exclusive use of Pearl Harbor, a great institution. This gave the United States access to a strategic naval base in the Pacific Ocean, which was essential for its growing power in the region. The treaty also allowed the United States to import Hawaiian sugar duty-free, which helped to boost the economy of the Hawaiian Islands.
