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.
