Queen Liliuokalani

Hawaii, American planters, annexation, Imperialism, expansionist. 1890's.

Expansionist provocations and domestic discord.
In early 1980's many American planters are looking to annex Hawaii for it's environment. Queen Liliuokalani is the symbol to many native Hawaiians of hope against America. She originally supported American acts because she thought that they would restore Hawaii to the "rightful owners"; instead in 1893, she was overthrown by American officials.
