Puerto Rico and Cuba began revolts in 1868. The Revolt of Yara on Cuba began a civil war known as the 10 Years War. The Revolt of Lares in Puerto Rico was brief. Though a few guerrilla battles were fought, Puerto Ricans now consider the revolt's date a national holiday. In 1873 Puerto Rico's slaves were freed, and owners were compensated by the Spanish government.
