America wanted Hawaii because of its location in the Pacific Ocean. During World War II, it was the perfect spot to station warships on the way to Japan. Unfortunately, after the annexation, much of Hawaii's native culture was wiped out.

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.
