The kingdom established by King Kamehameha lasted until 1893, when the last Hawaiian monarch, Queen Liliʻuokalani, was overthrown in a coup led by American sugar merchants and supporters of the Reform Party of the Hawaiian Kingdom. They were supported by the presence of the United States military vessel U.S.S. Boston.. The Queen was replaced by a Provisional Government. Despite the 1893 Blount Commission findings that the actions of U.S. residents involved in the deposition of the Monarchy were illegal, and despite appeals to outside political leaders (including U.S. Congress), the Hawaiian kingdom was declared a republic.

Who gets the money besides? in step with hazard pass rules so as that they not get tax payer money. in step with hazard threaten the royal relatives, so as that they flee the rustic because of the fact the Greek royals did. yet while they get to maintain their wealth, it ought to not make lots of a distinction.

It wasn't overthrown by foreigners- it was overthrown by its own people who disapproved of the Queen.
