Annexation of the Midway Islands

Why Annex Midway?

Aug 28 1867

Midway was quite literally the 'midway' point from the U.S to some Asian countries. Commerce, communications, and fueling ships was made easier due to the annexation of the Midway Islands.

Who supported this annexation?

There had been no indigenous people on the Midway islands until it was discovered in 1867 by Captain William Reynolds, so there were no opposing opinions about whether or not it should be annexed. Most people in the U.S, regardless of political party, were supportive of the decision since the annexation was beneficial to businesses, and it was a boon to the U.S navy's ships and in turn, national security.
