American involvement in Hawaii increased in the 1890s due to economic interests, particularly in the sugar industry, as American planters sought to expand their markets. The strategic location of Hawaii in the Pacific also made it a key naval base for the United States, enhancing its military presence. Additionally, the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 by American interests further facilitated U.S. annexation in 1898, driven by a desire for territorial expansion and influence in the region.

The American planters' request for the annexation of Hawaii in the early 1890s failed primarily due to political changes in the U.S. government. The overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani in 1893 led to the establishment of a provisional government, but President Grover Cleveland opposed annexation and sought to restore the queen. Additionally, there was significant public and political opposition to the annexation, which ultimately stalled the plan until a more favorable political climate emerged later.
