Respuesta :
Long before 1898, the United States was
interested in purchasing Cuba. Following
the Ten Years War, large tracts of land in
Cuba were purchased by American sugar
companies. Changes in the United States'
Sugar tariff in favor of home-grown beet
sugar aided in rekindling revolutionary
fervor in 1895.
In 1898, the US aided in the war to
safeguard its citizens and enterprises in
Cuba. The Spanish-American War was
the name given to this conflict. The United States declared war on Spain after the US warship Maine exploded and sank while visiting Havana, Cuba, on February 15, 1898.
America was very interested in Cuba
because of the crops/resources they grew in their country. Since Cuba is only 90 miles from the United States, the government wanted to make sure that this country would be open to American influence/trade. This resulted in America establishing a trading relationship with Cuba, primarily receiving sugar from this country. However, this relationship would not last forever, as the leader of Cuba who was friendly with the US (Batista) was replaced by Fidel Castro, an anti-American communist.
