America got Hawaii because while the queen was travelling to DC (took months back then) a ship full of US marines conspired with white plantation owners to stage a coup.

The princess in charge told her forces not to fight because “no Christian nation would steal land from natives” and thought the Queen would straighten it out when she met with the president. Because all she had heard about America was from missionaries and rich people wanting to buy up her land.

When the Queen arrived in DC, she was told she wasnt a queen anymore. Which wasn’t much of a surprise at that point because she had seen how America really treated natives on her way across the country.

Edit:

My bad the delegation to DC left two days after the coup
