the king and queen of Hawaii Queen Liliokalani and i forgot the queen's name PS i live in Hawaii

THE SHORT TRUTH

There were many instances one after another that lead to the current occupation by the United States. Internationally, it began with the landing of the U.S. Marines by U.S. Foreign Minister J. Stevens, who by the request of the few select men that overthrow the Hawaiian Government was responsible for what was deemed as a crime by Pres. Cleveland after he sent James H. Blount to investigate.

The President, after the findings, requested that these insurgents restore the Queen to her throne but they refused and the U.S. was not going to harm their own men.
