Hawaii's Last Queen Part 7/7

On January 16, 1893, four boatloads of United States Marines armed with
Gatling guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition came ashore in Honolulu,
capital of the independent Kingdom of Hawaii. As the Royal Hawaiian band played a
concert at the Hawaiian Hotel, 162 troops marched through the streets of Honolulu,
heading for the palace. The Queen of Hawaii, Lili'uokalani, looked down from her balcony
as the troops took up their positions. The following day, she surrendered at gunpoint,
yielding her throne to the government of the United States. A provisional government
led by wealthy white sugar growers assumed control of Hawaii and petitioned the
US for annexation.If copyright becomes an issue on this video upload, it will be deleted

Just like the Americans. They killed Che Guevera, the tried to kill Castro for freeing Cuba and removing American businessmen, tourism and prostitution making it an independent state. America attacks Chile, South America with CIA on September 11th (1973). God Bless America. Home of the Free. Land of the Brave. What a crock.

@ortigasraymundo I actually had come up with an idea that would be quite interesting. Hawaii would be a state, but instead of a governor running it and making laws, the monarchy is in charge of the state.

Good documentary. But of the knowledge that we know today, its more then enough to have these kind documentaries re-written.

If this should ever happen in my country, I would stay home and stop the light of day coming into my home as well. I am not anti American but I am pro Canada, such as were the Hawaiians in there day.

I hope someday the kingdom of hawaii will be restored and as well as the natives' sovereignty.

Religion was truly a weapon of the colonists and the colonial thinkers. That is why the greatest scams came out of religions. If not for religion these colonizers would have not fooled the people.

@kalaikoa Do not judge the descendants for what their ancestors did It was wrong for England to take the kindness of the Powatan Confederation and the other American natives and repay them with taking their land, authority and freedom What is worse is that the Americans of the 1800s still had that mindset and turned around and did the same to Hawaiians They had the mindset that all monarchs were tyrants from what they saw in Europe and did not have the wisdom to properly analyze the situation

@shadowbunni624. Indeed they did not! They betrayed their country, Hawaii and their people! Its not Minister Thruston's family thats at fault. Its Minister Lorrin Thurstan himself thats at fault. And still is! Along with Dole and others who betrayed HM and the people of Hawaii and their country itself.
