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.
