Spain sent Valeriano Weyler to Cuba to suppress the Cuban War of Independence, which began in 1895. Weyler, known for his harsh tactics, implemented a policy of reconcentration, relocating rural populations to urban areas in an effort to cut support for the rebels. His actions drew significant criticism and contributed to the growing tensions between Spain and the United States.

How did Valeriano Weyler get his nickname during the Spanish American War?

Captain General Weyler gained his nickname as "The Butcher" in 1888, long before the Spanish American War. In trying to quell the activities of Philippine Rebels he used brutality to an extreme. When he was ordered to Cuba to end the Cuban struggle for Independence his nickname came with him and his reputation for cruelty, graft, bribery and reconcentration camps drew the attention of the American Press.Cuban reconcentration camps in Cuba held 300.000 people by the end of 1897 and the Hearst papers routinely reported the conditions of disease, squalor, maltreatment and starvation that had killed thousands. Support for Independence for Cuba was growing in the US and would quickly escalate to War.
