The United States annexed Hawaii from the Polynesian people. In 1898, Hawaii was officially annexed, although it had been a U.S. territory since 1893 following the overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani. This annexation was controversial and led to significant cultural and political changes for the native Hawaiian population. Hawaii eventually became the 50th state of the U.S. in 1959.
