Overthrow of Queen Lili’uokalani (1893): The illegal removal of Queen Lili’uokalani from power by a group of American businessmen and residents, supported by U.S. military force, leading to the establishment of a provisional government and later the Republic of Hawaii. This event marked the end of Hawaiian sovereignty and was driven by economic and political interests aiming for annexation by the U.S.
Role of the Missionary Party in annexation plots: A political faction composed largely of descendants of American missionaries and plantation owners, the Missionary Party actively collaborated with U.S. interests to overthrow the Hawaiian monarchy and facilitate annexation, seeking to control land, government, and economic resources.
Bayonet Constitution (1887): A constitution imposed on King Kalākaua under threat of violence, which stripped the monarchy of much of its power and reduced Native Hawaiians’ voting rights. It was enacted through force, involving armed white militia, and significantly increased the influence of American and European businessmen in Hawaiian governance.
