The Platt Amendment and the Teller Amendment differed primarily in their implications for U.S.-Cuba relations following the Spanish-American War. The Teller Amendment, passed in 1898, declared that the U.S. would not annex Cuba and would respect its sovereignty after the war. In contrast, the Platt Amendment, enacted in 1901, imposed conditions on Cuba's sovereignty, allowing the U.S. to intervene in Cuban affairs and establishing a naval base at Guantanamo Bay, effectively giving the U.S. significant control over Cuban governance.
Actually is was Cuba.
America could not protect the interests of Cuba.
The Platt Amendment, enacted in 1901, significantly limited Cuba's sovereignty by allowing the United States to intervene in Cuban affairs and establishing a U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay. For Cuban citizens, this meant a loss of autonomy and self-determination, as U.S. oversight influenced their government and economy. Many Cubans resented the amendment, viewing it as an infringement on their national independence, which stoked nationalist sentiments and opposition to U.S. intervention. Ultimately, it contributed to a legacy of tension in U.S.-Cuba relations that persisted for decades.
Cuba was forced to accept the conditions written in the Platt Amendment. In exchange for Cuba's agreement, the remaining United States troops withdrew from Cuba at the end of the Spanish-American War.
The Platt Amendment declared U.S. intentions to intervene in Cuba.
