America gained control in Cuban affairs primarily through the Platt Amendment, enacted in 1901, which allowed the U.S. to intervene in Cuban politics and maintain a military presence on the island. This amendment restricted Cuba's ability to sign treaties with other nations and gave the U.S. the authority to oversee its financial and foreign relations. Additionally, the U.S. established Guantanamo Bay as a naval base, further solidifying its influence over Cuba. These measures were part of a broader strategy to assert American dominance in the Caribbean and Latin America.
