The student clearly stated an appropriate and specific question for the historical investigation: "How significant was Hawaii’s Reciprocity Treaty with the US in 1875 in causing the annexation of Hawaii in 1898?" The question selected has a clearly defined scope in terms of dates, significant historical figures, and historical events, focusing on the Reciprocity Treaty and the annexation of Hawaii in 1898. The student chose appropriate and relevant sources for the topic of the investigation, including articles from well-known journals and an interview. However, the student needs to explain the relevance of the second source and state whether the sources used are primary or secondary. Additionally, a precise analysis and evaluation of the values, limitations, and purpose of the sources is needed.
