List of Hawaiian monarchs

Kamehameha I established the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1795 after conquering most of the Hawaiian Islands. In 1810, Kaumualiʻi became a vassal of Kamehameha I, who therefore emerged as the sole sovereign of the island chain of Hawaiʻi. His dynasty lasted until 1872, and his Kingdom lasted until 1893, when Queen Liliʻuokalani, of the Kalākaua 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 Liliʻuokalani formally abdicated in response to an attempt to restore the royal government. On November 23, 1993, the Congress passed Public Law 103-150, 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.

Disputed monarchs (1893–1895) Liliʻuokalani was disputed as queen of Hawaii from 1893 to 1895 after she was overthrown in 1893 but continued to claim the throne while the Provisional Government led by Sanford B. Dole ruled for her. Her claim ended in 1895 after a failed attempt to restore the monarchy, after she was arrested and was forced to formally abdicate.
