Sanford B. Dole played a pivotal role in the annexation of Hawaii, primarily through his leadership in the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893. As president of the provisional government established after the coup, he advocated for the annexation of Hawaii to the United States, arguing that it would benefit both Hawaii and America strategically and economically. Dole's efforts culminated in the passage of the Newlands Resolution in 1898, which officially annexed Hawaii as a U.S. territory. His influence and political maneuvering were key in shaping Hawaii's transition from an independent kingdom to a U.S. territory.
