The U.S. expansion in Hawaii was largely driven by economic interests, particularly in sugar and pineapple plantations, leading to the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 and eventual annexation in 1898. In contrast, the expansion in the Philippines followed the Spanish-American War, resulting in the U.S. taking control of the islands through military means and a protracted conflict with Filipino nationalists who sought independence. While Hawaii's integration was relatively peaceful and economically motivated, the Philippines experienced significant resistance and violence, highlighting a more imperialistic approach.

What are consequences of the US conquering Hawaii?
While the US annexed Hawaii without the approval of most of the native population, the US did not conquer Hawaii. The annexation was the result of western individuals becoming powerful in the government of the Kingdom of Hawaii and arranging the annexation without significant military action. The consequence of the annexation was that the native population lost all control over the government of the islands, and over most of the economic activity there, and were overwhelmed by an influx of Caucasians (mostly from the US). The other result was that the US gained a valuable coaling station for naval vessels in the Pacific Ocean. In combination with the acquisition of the Philippines and of Guam and Wake Island, this made the US an important power in the Pacific.
