King Kalakaua surrendered Hawaii to the United Stated in 1893?

King Kalakaua did not surrender Hawaii to the United States; rather, he was pressured into signing the Bayonet Constitution in 1887, which significantly reduced his powers. In 1893, a group of American and European businessmen, supported by the U.S. government, orchestrated a coup that led to the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani, Kalakaua's successor. This event ultimately resulted in the annexation of Hawaii by the United States in 1898. The overthrow was controversial and remains a significant moment in Hawaiian history.
