After ascending to the throne in 1891, Queen Liliuokalani sought to restore the power of the Hawaiian monarchy and implement a new constitution that would strengthen the authority of the crown and reduce the influence of American and foreign interests in Hawaii. She aimed to reclaim the sovereignty of the Hawaiian people and sought to reverse the concessions made by her brother, King Kalākaua, which had diminished the monarchy's power. Her efforts, however, faced significant opposition from American business interests and ultimately led to her overthrow in 1893.
The Hawaiian Islands were ruled by Queen Liliuokalani. She was usurped from the throne by the US sugar companies.
She was on the throne for one year and 354 days.

Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii abdicated her throne on January 24, 1895. Her abdication followed a failed coup attempt by her supporters to restore her to power after she was deposed in a U.S.-backed overthrow in 1893. Facing the imminent threat of military action and further conflict, she chose to step down in hopes of preventing bloodshed.
I think she was overthrown on January 17, 1893 I think she was overthrown on January 17, 1893

After being named heir presumptive to the throne in 1877, Liliuokalani worked to solidify her position by actively engaging in Hawaiian politics and culture. She promoted the interests of Native Hawaiians, advocated for the preservation of Hawaiian traditions, and opposed the increasing influence of American interests in the islands. Liliuokalani also took steps to enhance her royal authority, including efforts to revise the Hawaiian constitution to restore more power to the monarchy. Her commitment to her role as a leader ultimately set the stage for her ascension to the throne in 1891.
because the United States insisted Hawaii grant it exclusive rights to a naval base at Pearl Harbor. In 1887 sugar planters forced Hawaiis king to accept a constitution limiting his power. the planters wanted Hawaii to become part of the United States. After ascending the throne in 1891, Queen Liliuokalani tried to reassert the Hawaiian nocharchys power, but the planters, supported by U.S.sailors, overthrew the monarchy in 1893. The United States annexed Hawaii in 1898
Queen Liliuokalani was on the throne until January of 1893.
