History of Hawaii

	Kalakaua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Kalākaua was elected by the legislature to assume the throne of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i upon the death of William Charles Lunalilo.
		Kalākaua — born as David La‘amea Kamanakapu‘u Mahinulani Nalaiaehuokalani Lumialani Kalākaua and called The Merrie Monarch (November 12, 1836 - January 20, 1891) — was the last reigning king of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i.
		Lunalilo was the more popular of the two, partially because he was a higher-ranking chief than Kalākaua and was the immediate cousin of the deceased Kamehameha V. Lunalilo was also the more liberal of the two--he promised to amend the constitution to give the people a greater voice in the government.

		The short-lived Kalakaua dynasty came to power when the almight Kamehameha dynasty ended with King Kamehameha V.
