Was the Philippines annexed before Hawaii?

Yes, the Philippines was annexed by the United States after the Spanish-American War in 1898, following the signing of the Treaty of Paris. Hawaii, on the other hand, was annexed later, in 1898, but it was formally established as a U.S. territory in 1900. Therefore, while both were annexed in the same year, the Philippines was officially transferred to U.S. control before Hawaii.
