Answer 2

Answer:

When Queen Liliuokalani announced her plan to restore the power of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893, the U.S. minister to Hawaii ordered the marines to surround the royal palace with machine guns and cannons.

Explanation:

Queen Liliukalani inherited the throne of her brother Karakava on January 17, 1891. As she had no children, she chose her niece Victoria Kaiulani as her heir, but unfortunately Victoria died in 1899. In August of the same year, her husband Dominus passed away. After she ascended the throne, she was determined to change the constitution because the existing Bayonet Constitution planned by the Americans restricted her power. It is a pity that the Hawaii at the time was basically controlled by the Americans, and reforms were difficult to make. In the short period of less than three years of rule, in 1893, Queen Liliukalani was overthrown by US officials under the pretext of protecting American properties, and the Americans established the Republic of Hawaii in the following year.
