From the perspective of Cuba, U.S. intervention was like a bully on a playground because . . . the U.S. set up a military government in Cuba (though ithad been granted independence after the Spanish-American War) and denied Cubans self-rule, just as a bully tries to control and intimidate other children on the playground.
