The United States, at the time when we became more involved in Cuba, was not having very peaceful relations with Spain. Spain had control over Cuba at the time. The Cubans began to rebel against Cuba, and the United States also went in and helped Cuba out, starting the Spanish-American War. The United States later won the war, though.
