In the early days of the Ottoman Empire, the main goal of its leaders was expansion. ... It is believed that the Ottoman Empire was able to grow so rapidly because other countries were weak and unorganized, and also because the Ottomans had advanced military organization and tactics for the time.

In the 14th century, the devshirme system was created. This required conquered Christians to give up 20 percent of their male children to the state. The children were forced to convert to Islam and become slaves. Although they served as slaves, some of the converts became powerful and wealthy.

Was the annexation of Hawaii justified

Lorico [155]

The answer to this really depends on what prism you are viewing it from?

As a globe, we are pretty opposed to imperialism these days. China has started to dabble a little more in the South China Sea but we mostly have our nation states and there isn't really a lot of movement.

That was not the case at the time of annexation.

So, is it ethical to subsume a sovereign nation? No

Was it strategically justifiable at the time? Yes. If the United States had not annexed Hawaii, the Empire of Japan likely would have stepped in.

Hawaii has enormous strategic value and was then justifiable at the time of annexation.

That being said, and I hope this is an obvious statement, imperialism is not a good thing and is ethically problematic.
