List of Monarchs of Hawaii
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kingdom of Hawaiʻi was founded by Kamehameha I in 1795 after capturing for forming alliances with the chiefs of neighbouring islands. His dynasty lasted until Liliuʻokalani seceded her throne in 1893 to avoid bloodshed after the Islands were invaded by US troops. Hawaiian nationals elected Kamehameha dynasty descendant Akahi Nui as the new king in response to US President Bill Clinton issuing a formal apology for the invasion of the Islands. But the United States does not recognise the new king yet.
