That alone wouldn't give them the logistical ability to invade Hawaii.

Although with no invasion of China how did war break out in the first place?

Invasion of the Philippines.
They don't plan to occupy Hawaii, just land and leave. A bit like OTL, but with a land skirmish.

Mainly the latter, although the Germans don't come out much better.

Given independence directly after Spanish rule? And are they all one country or multiple states?

I've heard of King, Chretien, Martin, and Harper. I guess I know even less about Canadian history than British.

At least you're humble. Hopefully, the requirements for Canadian PM don't include a minimum age limit of 35 and being a native-born citizen like the US presidency.

It doesn't. Notice how I didn't come to the PMship through an election, but through a leadership change.
