How America Annexed Hawaii (Hawaii was a country - until America decided otherwise)

Hawaii was once an independent country. Before becoming a U.S. state, Hawaii was a recognized sovereign kingdom with its own monarch, constitution, treaties, and diplomatic relations—including with the United States. So how did Hawaii lose its independence? In this episode of Global Storm Room, we examine the annexation of Hawaii by the United States, the overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani, and the political and economic forces that reshaped Hawaii’s future without a treaty or a vote by the Hawaiian people. This episode explores: The history of the Kingdom of Hawaii as an independent nation How the Bayonet Constitution of 1887 disenfranchised Native Hawaiians The role of American business interests and plantation owners Why U.S. Marines landed in Honolulu in 1893 The U.S. investigation that found the overthrow was illegal The anti-annexation petitions signed by over 21,000 Native Hawaiians How Hawaii was annexed in 1898 without a referendum Why Hawaiian sovereignty and independence movements still exist today This is not a story about tourism or nostalgia. It is a story about U.S. imperialism, colonialism, sovereignty, international law, and consent—and how history can move forward even when the people affected object. If you’ve ever asked: Was Hawaii stolen? Was the overthrow of Hawaii legal? Did Native Hawaiians support annexation? Why is Hawaiian sovereignty still debated today? This episode answers those questions—clearly and carefully. Global Storm Room examines hidden history, geopolitics, and power— where the past still shapes the present.
