Kamehameha I established the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1795 after conquering most of the Hawaiian Islands. In 1810, Kaumualiûi became a vassal of Kamehameha I, who therefore emerged as the sole sovereign of the island chain of Hawaiûi. His dynasty lasted until 1872, and his Kingdom lasted until 1893, when Queen Liliûuokalani, of the KalÃÂkaua dynasty, was deposed by pro-United States businessmen who led the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The monarchy was officially ended on January 24, 1895, when Liliûuokalani formally abdicated in response to an attempt to restore the royal government. On November 23, 1993, the Congress passed , also known as the Apology Resolution, acknowledging the American role in the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy. President Bill Clinton signed the joint resolution the same day.
