The Fall of the Hawaiian Kingdom: What Became of Liliuokalani and Her Family

On January 17th, 1893, the Hawaiian Kingdom fell in under an hour, without a battle, while an American warship sat in Honolulu harbour. This is the full story of what happened next: Queen Liliuokalani's imprisonment in an upstairs room of her own palace, her forced abdication, Princess Kaiulani's journey to Washington at seventeen, Prince Kuhio's year in prison and his twenty years in Congress, and the 1.8 million acres of Crown Lands that vanished into a public trust. We follow the crowns that were broken open, the palace that became a capitol for eighty-five years, the estates that outlived the monarchy, and the descendants who carried the name into the twenty-first century, right up to the 1993 Apology Resolution and the arguments still unsettled today. #history #royalty #dynasty #documentary CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:46 THE MERRIE MONARCH 04:44 SEVENTEEN JANUARY 08:38 THE UPSTAIRS ROOM 12:01 WHERE THEY ALL WENT 16:01 THE QUEEN SUES AMERICA 20:08 PALACES AND JEWELS 24:23 THE LAST HEIRS
