in 1891, queen ____ tried to regain power but was overthrown by ____.

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the historical events leading to Hawaii's annexation:

First Row:

Sugar cane grew well in Hawaii, so planters established sugar plantations.

Second Row:

In 1875, the U.S. signed a treaty exempting Hawaii sugar from tariffs (import taxes).

Third Row:

In 1887, Sanford Dole and sugar planters forced the king to sign a new constitution (the Bayonet Constitution) to limit his authority.

Fourth Row:

In 1891, Queen Liliuokalani tried to regain power but was overthrown by American planters and U.S. Marines (in 1893, though the year here is 1891 for her ascension/attempt; the overthrow followed).

Filled Table (Key Blanks):

1. $\boldsymbol{\text{Sugar cane}}$ grew well in Hawaii and planters began establishing sugar $\boldsymbol{\text{plantations}}$.
2. In $\boldsymbol{1875}$, the United States signed a treaty that exempted Hawaii sugar from $\boldsymbol{\text{tariffs}}$.
3. In $\boldsymbol{1887}$ Sanford $\boldsymbol{\text{Dole}}$ and a group of sugar planters forced Hawaii king to sign a new $\boldsymbol{\text{constitution}}$, thereby limiting the king’s authority.
4. In 1891, Queen $\boldsymbol{\text{Liliuokalani}}$ tried to regain power but was overthrown by $\boldsymbol{\text{American planters (and U.S. forces)}}$.

(Note: For the last row, the overthrow occurred in 1893, but the question frames 1891 as her attempt to restore power, leading to the 1893 overthrow by American interests.)
