The Monarchy was overthrown in 1893 and in fairness it should be pointed out that it was not Government Policy or Imperialism that removed the legitimate Hawaiian royalty but a small group of wealthy American Plantation owners and businessmen who created a Republic. Grover Cleveland made an effort to return the Monarchy to power but was voted out of office before he could do so by force of arms. William McKinley became the new US President, favored big business and was not concerned with the Will of the Peoplein such matters. It was five years after the coup d' etat that Hawaii became a US Territory.
