The desire of U.S. officials to annex Hawaii

Further Explanation:

In January 1893, Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii was overthrown when a group of Sugar businessman and Sugar Planters who were led by Sanford Ballard Dole forced her to abdicate. Queen Liliuokalani was a Hawaiian monarch. This coup was done in order to establish a new government and these Sugar planters wanted Dole as the President. U.S minister to Hawaii during that time was John L. Stevens and he was already aware of this coup and he called around 300 US Marines to Hawaii for the protection of the American people who lived in Hawaii.  

On February 1, 1893, the New government of Hawaii was recognized by John L. Stevens under the leadership of Dole as President and John L. Stevens also proclaimed Hawaii as U.S Protectorate. Treaty of the annexation of Hawaii was submitted by Dole in the US Senate but the majority of the Democrats were against it as the majority of people of Hawaii were against Annexation. But during the Spanish-American war, there was the strategic use of Pearl Harbour which led to the victory of the United States and taking that into notice, The US Senate agreed to annex Hawaii and it became the 50th state of the United States.
