Which place did not play a role in the Spanish American war?

One place that did not play a role in the Spanish-American War is Hawaii. Although Hawaii was strategically important and had strong ties to the United States, it was not directly involved in the conflict between the U.S. and Spain, which primarily focused on Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. The war occurred in 1898, while Hawaii was annexed by the U.S. in 1898, after the war had begun.
