The kingdom of hawai'i...
After Kamehameha "The Great" unified the Hawaiian Islands, the Hawaiian Monarchy began. From 1810 to 1893, the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi was ruled by two major families: the House of Kamehameha and the Kalakaua Dynasty.
Five members of the Kamehameha family led the government as king. Liholiho (Kamehameha II) and Kauikeaouli (Kamehameha III), were direct sons of Kamehameha the Great. The last reigning monarchy of the Kingdom of Hawai'i was Queen Lili'uokalani. The Kingdom was overthrown in January 17, 1893 and the Republic of Hawai'i was established, eventually to become the U.S. state of Hawai'i.
During these monarchy periods, many changes took place in Hawai'i.
There were social changes, political changes, and economic changes that affected all aspects of life in Hawai'i.
