The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdombegan on January 17, 1893, with a coup d'étatagainst Queen Liliʻuokalanion the island of Oahuby subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom, United States citizens, and foreign residents residing in Honolulu. A majority of the insurgents were foreigners. [ 4][5]They prevailed upon American minister John L. Stevensto call in the U.S. Marinesto protect United States interests, an action that effectively buttressed the rebellion. The insurgents established the Republic of Hawaii, but their ultimate goal was the annexationof the islands to the United States, which occurredin 1898. The 1993 Apology Resolutionby the U.S. Congress concedes that "the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii occurred with the active participation of agents and citizens of the United States and [...] the Native Hawaiian people never directly relinquished to the United States their claims to their inherent sovereignty as a people over their national lands, either through the Kingdom of Hawaii or through a plebiscite or referendum". Debates regarding the event play an important role in the Hawaiian sovereignty movement. Contents

Background[edit]
The Kamehameha Dynastywas the reigning monarchy of the Hawaiian Kingdom, beginning with its founding by Kamehameha Iin 1795, until the death of Kamehameha Vin 1872 and Lunaliloin 1874.[6] On July 6, 1846, U.S. Secretary of StateJohn C. Calhoun, on behalf of President Tyler, formally recognized Hawaii's independence under the reign of Kamehameha III.[7] As a result of the recognition of Hawaiian independence, the Hawaiian Kingdom entered into treaties with the major nations of the world[8]and established over ninety legations and consulates in multiple seaports and cities.[9] The kingdom would continue for another 21 years until its overthrow in 1893 with the fall of the House of Kalākaua.
