The tacit understanding between East Africa and the United States quickly caught the attention of Britain, France, and other countries, and of course, to be precise, dissatisfaction, especially Britain inevitably had some suspicion.
Launching a coup on the same day and then remaining at peace, this looks like "premeditation." Previously, Britain wanted to wait and see, but the expected conflict between the two countries over the Hawaii issue did not occur, further confirming the suspicions of Britain and France.
"We strongly suspect that East Africa and the United States had reached some understanding before the coup. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that both countries experienced a coup on the same day, obviously having made ample preparations to divide the Hawaiian Islands?" said Wilson, the British minister to the Kingdom of Hawaii, and Kabusel, the French minister on the island.
