The Platt Amendment reserved the United State's right to intervene in Cuban affairs and forced newly independent Cuba to host American naval bases on the island.
Actually is was Cuba.
America could not protect the interests of Cuba.
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.
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.
