After the introduction of sugarcane in the 1830s, most of the land and businesses in Hawaii became controlled by a small group of wealthy American and European plantation owners. These individuals, often referred to as the "Big Five," dominated the sugar industry and significantly influenced Hawaii's economy and politics. Their control led to the establishment of a colonial-style governance structure, which ultimately contributed to the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893.
