4. Describe the turnover of power in Hawaii from King Kalakaua to his sister Queen Liliuokalani to Sanford B. Dole.

Power in Hawaii

Explanation:

King Kalakaua was the last monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii, reigning from 1874, until his death. Hawaii was a kingdom until 1893 when American planters established corp to overthrow Queen Liliuokalani.  In 1840, a constitutional monarchy was established, stripping the Hawaiian monarch authority. The economic reasons have contributed to the overthrow of the Queen from power. American planters generated money in Hawaii through sugar plantations. Sugar exports to the United States expanded over the period. American investors and planters on the islands increased their domination to establish their control over the people in Hawaii. Sanford Dole needed Hawaii to be part of the United States to ensure their entrance to American markets.
