From 1887-1889 Germany and the United States were staring one another down over keeping one another at bay in Apia Harbor, with the British monitoring the situation. Ultimately, Germany and the US partitioned the archipelago in 1890.

What if the US and Germany had gone to war?

I imagine the US would try to annex Hawaii a few years early like with the Spanish-American War.
Germany's pacific holdings at this time are German New Guinea (including the North Solomon Islands), Marshall Islands, and Nauru.
