Hawaii became a U.S. territory largely through political maneuvering rather than military conflict. The overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 was orchestrated by American sugar planters and business interests, who sought to benefit from annexation. The U.S. government supported the coup, and Hawaii was annexed in 1898 through the Newlands Resolution, which did not involve armed conflict. The relatively peaceful transition was facilitated by the strategic interests of the U.S. in the Pacific and the economic ties between Hawaii and American businesses.

As a result, the socioeconomic status of the peasantry remained largely stagnant or even worsened during this period.

The only kinds of conflict that there is are simple disagreements between politicians of different countries. One of the reasons for setting up what is now the European Union was to enable countries that had fought each other during World War I and World War II to work together for mutual benefit. That has been largely successful.
