Cuba’s Independence• Cuba was a colony of Spain and was
mounting a uprising or war for independence.
• General Wehyler of Spain put down the uprising
• 300,000 Cubans go into concentration camps as punishment
• Rural people had 8 days to move into fortified cities or be shot
• 400,000 died• This simply inspired the Cubans
even more to fight for independence

Cuba’s Independence • The U.S. was VERY interested in the uprising
because of the money invested in Cuban railroads and various plantations.
• These American investments were getting destroyed by Spanish soldiers.
• Over 200,000 Spanish troops were sent to Cuba to put down the rebellion.
• The Spanish general in charge was Valeriano Weyler.
• He quickly earned the nickname “The Butcher” because of his harsh treatment and policies.

American Involvement and Yellow Journalism
• The United States was unofficially neutral in the start of the conflict.• The New York Journal and the New York
World were spreading lies and half truths about the Cuban war for independence.• What led to most Americans supporting
the Cuban rebels was the yellow journalism.

States.• The U.S. had a better Navy plus better trained soldiers
than the Spanish forces.• On June 14th, 1898 about 17,000 troops landed in
Cuba.• The one thing America did not do was train troops fast
enough. Many troops got sick in the summer heat waiting for deployment.

Effects of the Spanish American War• US becomes an Imperialist Power• Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines become
colonies of the US (we pay 20 million)• Cuba gains its independence from Spain, but
becomes a US Protectorate– US will “protect” and partially control Cuba
• Philippine rebels wanting independence declare war on US
• War with the Philippines begins!
