The Platt Amendment In simplest terms, the Platt Amendment was a treaty between the United States and Cuba that established guidelines for US-Cuban relations. The US wanted to maintain influence in Cuba to protect its interests there, but Cubans were wary of being under the control of another foreign power after recently gaining independence from Spain. The Platt Amendment was an attempt to appease both countries. ~Learned from Britannica's website~
The main reason the United States put an embargo on Cuba was because of pressure from US business whose property had been nationalized by the Cuban government without payment. Another reason for the embargo was pressure from refugees and immigrants from Cuba, who favored actions taken against Castro's government. There is a link below to an article on the embargo.
No, the city of Havana did not belong to the United States after the Spanish-American War. Following the war in 1898, Cuba became a protectorate of the U.S. under the terms of the Treaty of Paris, but it retained its sovereignty. The U.S. did, however, establish a significant military presence and exerted considerable influence over Cuban affairs, particularly through the Platt Amendment of 1901.
