William H. Seward did not acquire Hawaii; instead, he is known for his role in the acquisition of Alaska from Russia in 1867. The U.S. officially annexed Hawaii in 1898, long after Seward's tenure as Secretary of State (which ended in 1869). Seward did, however, advocate for American expansionism in the Pacific, which laid some groundwork for future interest in Hawaii.
The United States did not acquire several locations directly as a result of its victory over Spain in the Spanish-American War. Notably, territories like Hawaii and Alaska were not part of the treaty outcomes; Hawaii was annexed in 1898 prior to the war, and Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867. Additionally, the U.S. did not acquire any territories in Europe or South America as a result of this conflict.
