In 1901, the Platt amendment was passed so the US would withdraw troops from Cuba at the end of the Spanish-American war. It placed the US in a position of dominance by stipulating Cuba cell or lease land to the US necessary for the mining of coal in the development of naval stations. It also restricted Cuba from conducting form policy and limited commercial relations.
