Why is Hawaii a state and not Puerto Rico?

12 May 2022 By PAYCEC

Hawaii is a state because it was declared an independent nation by Dole. At the insistence of President William McKinley, the United States annexed Hawaii in 1898, fueled by the nationalism sparked by the Spanish-American War. In 1900, Hawaii became a territory, and Dole became its first governor.

Puerto Rico is not a state because it has the political status of an unincorporated territory of the United States. As a result, Puerto Rico is neither a sovereign nation nor a state of the United States. As a result of this ambiguity, the territory as a polity lacks certain rights but has benefits that other polities do not.
