Answer:

it had the finest harbor in the mid-Pacific and was viewed as a strategically valuable as a refueling station for ships and naval base.

Hawaii was perfectly located in the Pacific Ocean to set up the naval base to refuel and resupply, and Pearl Harbor being one of the largest and best natural harbors in the Pacific Ocean, made for the perfect fit.

The United States wanted to use Hawaii as a platform from which they could have a dominant Military presence in the Pacific.

It was whaling, sugar and pineapples that first brought Pearl Harbor to America's attention.

Sugar industry

its agriculture resources and strategic location in the Pacific

U.S. business interests and naval strategists had long coveted the island kingdom.
