Hawaii's annexation as a U.S. territory was primarily driven by the overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani in 1893, which was supported by American business interests and the U.S. government. Following the overthrow, a provisional government was established, and in 1898, the U.S. formally annexed Hawaii through the Newlands Resolution amid the context of the Spanish-American War and the desire for a strategic military presence in the Pacific. This annexation was completed despite significant opposition from native Hawaiians.
