In this episode of the U.S. Navy History Podcast, hosts Dale the Captain and Christophe the Unflappable XO discuss the historical events surrounding the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Starting with the recognition of Hawaiian independence in 1846, they delve into the key events leading up to the coup in 1893, supported by American business interests and military intervention, which resulted in the deposition of Queen Liliuokalani. They explore the subsequent political maneuvers, including President Cleveland's investigation and the eventual annexation of Hawaii by the United States in 1898. The episode also briefly touches on the Second Samoan Civil War and previews upcoming discussions on the Banana Wars. The episode concludes by honoring Engineman Second Class Mark Ian Nito, a Navy sailor who sacrificed his life in the attack on the USS Cole.
