When and why did Hawaii become a state? Hawaiiâa U.S. territory since 1898âbecame the 50th state in August, 1959, following a referendum in Hawaii in which more than 93% of the voters approved the proposition that the territory should be admitted as a state. There were many Hawaiian petitions for statehood during the first half of the 20th century. These were denied or ignored. Some in the U.S. had been convinced, even at the time of Hawaiiâs annexation, that Hawaii had no natural connection to the rest of the states.
In January 1893, a revolutionary âCommittee of Safety,â organized by Sanford B. Dole, staged a coup against Queen Liliuokalani with the tacit support of the United States. On February 1, Minister John Stevens recognized Doleâs new government on his own authority and proclaimed Hawaii a U.S. protectorate.n 1898, the Spanish-American War broke out, and the strategic use of the naval base at Pearl Harbor during the war convinced Congress to approve formal annexation. Two years later, Hawaii was organized into a formal U.S. territory and in 1959 entered the United States as the 50th state.
