In January 1893, American sailors and marines were brought to land in Hawaii to protect American interests amid political turmoil and the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani.

This intervention ultimately facilitated the establishment of a provisional government and paved the way for Hawaii's annexation to the United States.
