Sunday, August 8, 1824. The Humehume Rebellion.
Humehume, son of King Kaumualiʻi, of the islands of Kauaʻi and Niʻihau and a mother who was a commoner, lead a rebellion on Kauaʻi against the Kingdom of Hawaii to reestablish its independence.
Humehume had been taken to the United States as a boy, austensibly to obtain an education, but also potentially to place him away from being a rival to the throne to the sons of the king's royal wife. He served in the War of 1812 as a Marine.
The rebellion failed and he was exiled to Honolulu, where he died of influenza in 1826.

February 18, 1874. Disputed crown.
On this day in 1874 supporters of Queen Emma attacked supporters of King Kalākaua in Honolulu over who would be the reigning monarch following the election for the same, which the king had won.
Marines and blue jackets from US and British warship intervened, and King Kalākaua was able to take the oath of office the following day.

Saturday, January 20, 1900. A fire in Honolulu's Chinatown and "Die Erwerbung werthvoller Küstenstadte der Neuenglandstaaten wäre das wirksamste mittel, den frieden zu erzwingen"
A terrible fire broke out in Honolulu's China town when health officials ordered controlled burns in the area to address the bubonic plague. They grew out of control and destructive.
At the request of German Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, the director of the German Imperial Naval Office, Admiral Otto von Diederichs presented contingency plans for a naval blockade and limited armed invasion of the United States.
Frankly, the concept was absurd.
Perhaps emphasizing its absurdity, the size of the German navy would have had to been doubled, according to the report.
Of course, militaries engage in contingency planning, which is often absurd, all the time. Having said that, German concepts of messing around in North and Central America were fairly common and always absurd right up until the US entered the First World War.
