Surviving Kingdom of Hawaii

There has been mention on Tonga in this thread. I don’t think anyone’s mentioned Fiji here yet and I think that may be more relevant because of its relationship with the United States in the mid to late 19th century and subsequent relationship with Great Britain.

that's a good thought, It does seem like the US pushed Fiji into the British Commonwealth, it could very well happen with Hawaii

Perhaps during the resolution of the Paulet affair, when Royal Navy Admiral Thomas restored King Kamehameha III he could have signed an agreement that the Kingdom of Hawaii would be Sovereign but would accept British protection. Kamehameha wasn’t in much of a position to refuse.
