Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii fought desperately to maintain control of the Islands of Hawaii, but lost her fight. The United States of America annexed the Islands of Hawaii in 1898. At that time it was of great value for its proximity to whaling water, and was also important to the United States because of its sugar cane production.
