note the dates. it was forcibly annexed by a coup government

the facts don’t support your assertions. even if they did, it’s irrelevant because….

the later vote to join as a state took place well afterwards

just as I said and the facts I gave support. since 94% of people voted to become a state, no rational person would call it an “occupation”.

how is it an “occupation” when Hawaiians themselves voted to become a state by a 94+% majority?

On June 27, 1959, a referendum asked residents of Hawaiʻi to vote on the statehood bill; 94.3% voted in favor of statehood and 5.7% opposed it. (source)
