Was Hawaii formerly part of Japan?

In 1810, small independent tribes from Oahu, Maui, Molokai, Lanai and Hawaii were unified after a war to form the Kingdom of Hawaii

In 1885, the Kingdom of Hawaii signed a navigation treaty with Japan, and a large number of Japanese working people entered Hawaii.

In 1893, with the support of the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Marine Corps landed in Hawaii, supported the local Americans in launching a coup, and placed the Queen of Hawaii under house arrest.

In 1894, the Republic of Hawaii was established and the Kingdom of Hawaii was destroyed. At that time, Japan was busy with the Sino-Japanese War and had no time to visit eastward.

In 1898, the Republic of Hawaii merged with the United States and became a region of the United States.

In 1945, the United Nations regarded Hawaii as a trust territory and was administered by the United States.

In 1959, under a controversial referendum, Hawaii became a state of the United States. The reason for the controversy is that not only Native Hawaiians have the right to vote, but also American and Japanese immigrants and US troops on the island, making the referendum result one-sided.

It has never belonged to Japan.
