Cuba's fight for independence from Spain began in 1895 and by 1898 when the U.S. government decided to intervene, Spain's army was on the verge of losing to Cuban forces. The U.S., interested in preventing Cuba from gaining sovereignty, declared war on Spain, swiftly defeated them and took control of Cuba and Spain's other colonies; Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Guam.
