Hawaii came under the control of the US in the late 1800's because the Hawaiian chiefs engaged in a conflict for power and control. The United States entered into the war and consequently placed Hawaii under martial law.

What were the Hawaiian islands referred to before becoming part of the US?

Hawaii was first explored by people from Polynesia, and for centuries, Polynesian religion and culture dominated the Island. Captain James Cook, a British explorer, came to the Hawaiian Islands in 1778, and gradually British and western ideas began to become part of Hawaii; there was also a brief period of time in the early 1840s when England occupied the islands. But throughout much of its recorded history, Hawaii was an independent monarchy, with its own royal family, and a series of Kings and Queens who ruled.Over the decades of the mid-to-late 1800s, however, it was Americans who came to be the most influential force on the islands: missionaries converted the native people to Christianity and discouraged many of Hawaii's indigenous cultural traditions. And American businesses gradually come to control much of Hawaii's economy, especially its sugarcane and pineapple plantations. America was able to overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy in a peaceful (but controversial) coup, circa 1893. In 1898, Hawaii became a territory of the United States.
