ReplyDeleteWhich clause in the Cuban constitution allowed the U.S. to intervene in Cuban domestic affairs?
ReplyDelete"An 1899 treaty made Cuba an independent republic under U.S. protection. The U.S. occupation, which ended in 1902, suppressed yellow fever and brought large American investments. The 1901 Platt Amendment allowed the U.S. to intervene in Cuba's affairs, which it did four times from 1906 to 1920. Cuba terminated the amendment in 1934."
