King Kalakaua did not surrender Hawaii to the U.S. in 1893; rather, he was effectively forced to sign the Bayonet Constitution in 1887, which diminished his powers and increased the influence of American and local business interests. In 1893, following a coup supported by the U.S. government, Queen Liliʻuokalani, Kalakaua's successor, was deposed, leading to the establishment of a provisional government. This ultimately paved the way for Hawaii's annexation by the United States in 1898.
