What is the platt act of the US?

Answer 1

The Platt Amendment, enacted in 1901, was a significant provision in the Cuban constitution that defined the relationship between the United States and Cuba following the Spanish-American War. It granted the U.S. the right to intervene in Cuban affairs and established the Guantanamo Bay naval base. The amendment aimed to ensure that Cuba would not enter into treaties that could compromise its independence and allowed the U.S. to maintain a strong influence over Cuban governance and foreign policy. The Platt Amendment was eventually repealed in 1934.
