The U.S. joined the Cuban War of Independence primarily due to a combination of humanitarian concerns over Spanish atrocities against Cuban rebels and strategic interests in the Caribbean. The explosion of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898 further fueled public outrage and calls for intervention. Ultimately, the U.S. sought to expand its influence in the region and eliminate Spanish colonial rule, leading to the Spanish-American War and Cuba's eventual independence.
