Hawaii became a U.S. territory primarily due to economic and strategic interests. The U.S. established a significant presence in Hawaii in the 19th century, driven by the sugar trade and the desire to expand its military influence in the Pacific. The overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani in 1893 by American planters, supported by U.S. military forces, paved the way for annexation. Hawaii was officially annexed in 1898 and became a territory in 1900, further solidifying U.S. control in the region.
