Content: Queen Liliʻuokalani, who succeeded Kalākaua in 1891, tried to abrogate the 1887 constitution and promulgate a new constitution but was overthrown in 1893, largely at the hands of the Committee of Safety, a group of residents consisting of Hawaiian subjects and foreign nationals of American, British, and German descent, many of whom had been educated in the US, had lived there for a time, and identified strongly as American. Hawaiʻi became a republic until the US annexed it by the Newlands Resolution, a joint resolution, which was passed on July 4, 1898 by the US Congress and created the Territory of Hawaii. United States Public Law 103-150 adopted in 1993, (informally known as the Apology Resolution ), acknowledged that "the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii occurred with the active participation of agents and citizens of the United States" and also "that 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."

Origins
In ancient Hawaiʻi, society was divided into multiple classes. At the top of the class system was the aliʻi class with each island ruled by a separate aliʻi nui. All of these rulers were believed to come from a hereditary line descended from the first Polynesian, Papa, who would become the earth mother goddess of the Hawaiian religion. Captain James Cook became the first European to encounter the Hawaiian Islands, on his third voyage (1776–1780) in the Pacific. He was killed at Kealakekua Bay on the island of Hawaiʻi in 1779 in a dispute over the taking of a longboat. Three years later the Island of Hawaiʻi was passed to Kalaniʻōpuʻu 's son, Kīwalaʻō, while religious authority was passed to the ruler's nephew, Kamehameha. Hawaiian military officer, 1819 (by Jacques Arago)
The warrior chief who became Kamehameha the Great conducted a series of battles, lasting 15 years.
