U.S.-backed overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy (1893)

American business owners, primarily sugar plantation owners, grew to have outsized influence in the Hawaiian Kingdom by the late 19th century. In 1893, after Queen Liliʻuokalani attempted to restore the power of the monarchy and native Hawaiians, a group of businessmen conspired to overthrow the queen.

The coup: Known as the Committee of Safety, the group asked for help from John L. Stevens, the U.S. Minister to Hawaii. Stevens sent 162 U.S. sailors and Marines from the USS Boston ashore. Though under orders of neutrality, their presence supported the coup.
The result: Facing overwhelming U.S. military power, Queen Liliʻuokalani surrendered her authority to prevent bloodshed. The new Provisional Government, led by Sanford B. Dole, intended to annex Hawaii to the United States.

U.S. apology: In 1993, the U.S. Congress passed the Apology Resolution, which admitted that the overthrow was "with the active participation of agents and citizens of the United States" and was illegal.

U.S. Marines assisted in the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 to support a group of American businessmen and sugar planters who wanted to depose Queen Liliʻuokalani and annex Hawaii. The coup was orchestrated by the "Committee of Safety" who cited the Queen's attempts to restore power to Native Hawaiians and create a new constitution as a threat to their interests. The presence of U.S. Marines, under the command of U.S. Minister John L. Stevens, provided the military backing for the coup, allowing the Committee to take control by deterring any armed resistance from the Queen's supporters.

Economic interests: American businessmen in Hawaii, primarily sugar planters, feared the Queen's plan to create a new constitution that would re-enfranchise Native Hawaiians and weaken their political and economic power. They saw annexation by the United States as the only permanent solution for their business interests, especially after the end of U.S. sugar tariffs in 1890.

U.S. diplomatic and military support: The U.S. Minister to Hawaii, John L. Stevens, was a key conspirator who supported the Committee of Safety's plans. He ordered 300 U.S. Marines from the USS Boston to land, ostensibly to protect American lives and property.

Deterrence of resistance: The presence of U.S. troops created a show of force that prevented the Hawaiian monarchy from mounting a successful defense. Queen Liliʻuokalani ultimately surrendered her authority under protest, yielding to the "superior force of the United States," in the hope that the U.S. government would rectify the situation and reinstate her.

Iran and Iraq - Part 9 The Popular Government; Thorn in U.S. Side
The resistance forces in Iraq became more and more popular in Iraq as they showed bravery and honesty in their fight against Daesh terrorists. They managed to drive the terrorists out of Mosul, the city wherein Daesh declared its so-called caliphate. With the popularity of the resistance movement supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran on the rise, the Americans began putting more pressure on Baghdad to tell the Iranians leave Iraqi soil. Much to the dismay of the Americans, the 2018 election in Iraq was concluded with a landslide victory for factions somehow affiliated to the Iranians - including the Popular Mobilization Forces. As Donald Trump came to power in the US, the White House ratcheted up its pressure on Baghdad. Their intensifying pressures finally resulted in the resignation of Adil Abdul-Mahdi, the Iraqi Prime Minister of the time, who had strong ties with Tehran. But that was not the end of the story as Trump had yet a more dangerous game in mind…
