Line 34: Liliʻuokalani ascended to the throne on January 29, 1891, nine days after her brother's death. During her reign, she attempted to draft a [[Proposed 1893 Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom\|new constitution]] which would restore the power of the monarchy and the voting rights of the economically disenfranchised. Threatened by her attempts to abrogate the [[1887 Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom\|Bayonet Constitution]], [[pro-American]] elements in Hawaiʻi overthrew the monarchy on January 17, 1893. The overthrow was bolstered by the landing of US Marines under [[John L. Stevens]] to protect American interests, which rendered the monarchy unable to protect itself. The coup d'état established ~~a Provisional Government which became~~ the [[Republic of Hawaii\|Republic of Hawaiʻi]], but the ultimate goal was the annexation of the islands to the United States, which was temporarily blocked by President [[Grover Cleveland]]. After an [[1895 Wilcox rebellion\|unsuccessful uprising to restore the monarchy]], the oligarchical government placed the former queen under house arrest at the [[ʻIolani Palace]]. On January 24, 1895~~, under threat of execution of her imprisoned supporters~~, Liliʻuokalani was forced to abdicate the Hawaiian throne, officially resigning as ~~the~~ head of the deposed monarchy. Attempts were made to restore the monarchy and [[Opposition to the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom\|oppose annexation]], but with the outbreak of the [[Spanish–American War]], the United States [[Newlands Resolution\|annexed Hawaiʻi]]. Living out the remainder of her later life as a private citizen, Liliʻuokalani [[Death and state funeral of Liliʻuokalani\|died]] at her residence, [[Washington Place]], in Honolulu in 1917. == Early life ==
