The result was disastrous, hundreds of thousands of civilians died during the Weyler's re-concentration, it is estimated that in only two years between 25 to 30 percent of the population of the island of Cuba was eliminated, that is over 300,000 human beings died by hunger and disease during the reconcentration, this was how Spanish general Valeriano Weyler earned his nickname "The Butcher".
