Spanish General Valeriano Weyler implemented a controversial policy of reconcentration in Cuba, forcibly relocating rural populations into fortified towns to isolate rebels from civilian support. This strategy aimed to cut off resources and support for the insurgents fighting for Cuban independence. While it temporarily reduced insurgent activity, it also led to widespread suffering and famine among the civilian population, drawing international criticism and contributing to anti-Spanish sentiment.
