Sequence What events led to Hawaii and annexation as a U.S. territory?

The annexation of Hawaii as a U.S. territory was driven by a series of key events. In the late 19th century, American sugar planters in Hawaii sought greater economic control and political influence, leading to the overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani in 1893 with the support of U.S. military forces. The subsequent establishment of a provisional government, backed by the U.S., paved the way for the formal annexation in 1898 through the Newlands Resolution. Hawaii was eventually designated as a U.S. territory in 1900, solidifying American control over the islands.
