1898
The Spanish American War took place in 1898. And the Annexation of Hawaii took place the same year, July.
The Kingdom of Hawaii was purported to have been annexed to the United States of America on January 17th 1898 by an act of the American Congress, known as the Newlands Resolution. Acts of congress are limited and do not extend past Territorial Boundaries to other sovereign nation states, hence making Hawaii's alleged annexation questionable.

Prior to 1900, the Kingdom of Hawaii was reigning over Hawaii. All of a sudden, later that year, Hawaii was annexed to the United States. You might be wondering why this happened in such a short amount of time. The United States wanted to annex Hawaii because it was a great location to have military bases to protect the US from any Asian attacks. To get the land, the United States decided to overthrow the Kingdom of Hawaii and claim the land.
The US did NOT buy Hawaii, instead, they stole it from the Hawaiian Kingdom by means of an armed military overthrow. The Queen of Hawaii was imprisoned because she refused to cooperate with the United States government.
Hawaii became part of America on August 21, 1959, the 233rd day of the year (234th in leap years) Hawaii was annexed as a US Territory by Act of Congress in 1898.
Technically, the islands only received any form of 'independence' in 1843 after a brief occupation by the United Kingdom. But after that, the sovereign nation of Hawaii was annexed by the United States in 1898 and remains under US occupation to this day.
