As a result of the Spanish-American War, the US stripped Spain of its last possessions in Latin America, as well as in the Pacific. This left the US in the unique position of being the only imperial power in the Western Hemisphere, though it had already been claiming dozens of Pacific islands throughout the 19th century, including Hawaii.

How did the attack on Pearl Harbor relate to the Spanish American war?

It didn't. The Spanish American War was almost half a century before World War II and had nothing whatsoever to do with Hawaii. Michael Montagne In the recent book "Flyboys" (highly recommended) the author makes some interesting connections between European/Western imperialism and the Japanese imperialism that led up to World War II and the attack on Pearl Harbor. During the Spanish-American War the US kicked the imperialist Spanish out of the Americas, but in some ways, replaced it with an American brand of imperialism. The Japanese believed they were exercising the same sort of power over their own backyard in Asia.
