The U.S. joined the Cuban War of Independence primarily due to a combination of humanitarian concerns over Spanish atrocities against Cuban rebels and strategic interests in the Caribbean. The explosion of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898 further fueled public outrage and calls for intervention. Ultimately, the U.S. sought to expand its influence in the region and eliminate Spanish colonial rule, leading to the Spanish-American War and Cuba's eventual independence.
Episodes of the Cuban Revolutionary War was created in 1963.
Oh, dude, Jose Marti was all about that Cuban independence vibe. So, like, he encouraged the rebels to target sugar mills and plantations because they were seen as symbols of Spanish colonial oppression. It was basically a strategic move to weaken the Spanish economy and push for Cuban freedom.
