U.S. gets all Spanish Pacific Islands after SAW

The americans, germans, and british were already fighting a kind of proxy war by each supporting different chiefs in the samoa islands.

In OTL it was resolved by each getting a chunk and The germans gave of claims to the british in other places.

They would probably do something similar in ATL, but maybe a the pacific islands are included into Americas idea of Manifest Destiny, doubt this POD would be enough to cause such a change.

Maybe a POD farther back to the late 1840s or 1850s after America had secured a Pacific coast, maybe one involving the Guano Island Act
