Spain wanted to hold on to Cuba primarily for economic reasons, as the island was a significant source of sugar and tobacco, which were vital to Spain's economy. Additionally, Cuba held strategic military importance in the Caribbean, serving as a key point for Spain's naval operations. National pride and the desire to maintain its colonial empire also motivated Spain to resist losing control over Cuba, especially in the face of rising independence movements in the late 19th century.
