The American occupation of Cuba after the Spanish-American War brought several pros and cons. On the positive side, it led to significant infrastructure improvements, public health initiatives, and the establishment of a more stable political environment. However, the cons included the imposition of American control, which many Cubans viewed as imperialistic, and the limitation of Cuban self-determination, exemplified by the Platt Amendment that allowed U.S. intervention in Cuban affairs. This tension between development and autonomy fueled long-lasting resentment and shaped Cuba's future relations with the United States.
American jingoism in the late 19th century was fueled by a combination of nationalism, the desire for territorial expansion, and sensationalist journalism, particularly through yellow journalism that exaggerated Spanish atrocities in Cuba. The explosion of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898 further inflamed public opinion against Spain, leading to calls for intervention. This fervent patriotism and public outcry ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, as many Americans rallied behind the idea of liberating Cuba from Spanish rule.
