Valeriano Weyler, a Spanish general, was called "The Butcher" due to his brutal tactics during the Cuban War of Independence from 1895 to 1898. He implemented a policy of reconcentration, forcibly relocating Cuban civilians into camps where many suffered from poor conditions, starvation, and disease. His harsh methods aimed to suppress the rebellion but resulted in widespread suffering and condemnation, earning him the notorious nickname.
