Because of the Spanish American War (1898) the Philippines-American War (1899 - 1903), Hawaii became a strategic position for the ships sailing from the U.S. to the Philippines and on the way back as waypoint where ships could re-supply or make repairs. Even the still highly naval base of Pearl Harbor was established around this time, in 1899.
