When Queen Liliuokalani proposed a new Hawaiian constitution 1893, that would restore the power of the Hawaiian monarchy, the United States became even more concerned. Five years later, on July 7, 1898, U.S. President McKinley signed a bill which resulted in the United States Annexing Hawaii.
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.
