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.
