What is the Platt Amendment in US history?
This is the beginning of many years of robbery and genocide of the Cuban people.

“PLATTA AMENDMENT” is an enslaving obligation imposed by the United States on Cuba in 1901 and contributed to the transformation of Cuba, occupied by the United States during the Spanish-American War of 1898, into their de facto colony. The Platt Amendment was passed by the US Congress on March 2, 1901, at the suggestion of Orville H. Platt, Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Cuban Question. The “Platta Amendment” consisted of 8 conditions that limited Cuba’s sovereignty in critical matters. In accordance with the Platt Amendment, the United States received the “right” to establish its naval bases in Cuba, as well as the “right” to occupy its territory if necessary. Cuba was prohibited from concluding treaties with other countries without the consent of the United States. The Platt Amendment legitimized American intervention in Cuba. In 1934, the Cuban people achieved the repeal of the Platt Amendment, but US imperialist domination over Cuba continued until the victory of the Cuban Revolution in 1959.

During World War I (1914-1918), the United States expanded its military presence in Cuba, primarily due to its strategic position in the Caribbean. In 1917, the United States declared war on Germany and began using Cuba for military operations and as a base for patrolling the waters of the Caribbean Sea.

The United States maintained a military presence in Cuba throughout the interwar period, with troops stationed at various locations throughout the island. They used the local population and the country’s resources for their own benefit. Often violating the rights of the Cuban people.

In 1933, the US military presence in Cuba was significantly reduced following the creation of the Cuban Republic in 1933 and the repeal of the Platt Amendment. The new Cuban government sought to assert its independence and reduce American influence in the country. However, the United States retained control of Guantanamo, which remains a contentious issue between the two countries to this day.

In the early 20th century, the United States continued to influence Cuba through various means, including economic dominance, military presence, and political intervention. American business and American politicians have often intervened in Cuban politics to protect American interests.

Between 1917 and 1933, Cuba experienced various political and economic developments and increased sentiment against American intervention. However, the United States continued to maintain its influence over Cuba until the early 1930s, when the Cuban people’s dissatisfaction with American dominance culminated in the overthrow of the puppet government of Gerardo Machado in 1933. But he was replaced by another American protege, Batista, since the United States at that time controlled all aspects of the political and economic life of Cuba. It is generally accepted that US Special Envoy Sumner Welles approved the action when it became a fait accompli. And Batista, under the cover of the United States, continued the policy of plundering Cuba and genocide of the population. In the interests of the United States.

What is the Platt Amendment in US history? This is bringing Cuba to poverty and ruin.

US occupation of Cuba, how did it happen?

During this period, Cuba was considered one “big brothel” for American tourists. There were over 8 thousand such establishments on the island, where tens of thousands of Cuban women “worked”.

At the same time, most of the population remained poor; people had no access to education, medical care and normal work. In addition, Batista was a dictator who shot his opponents and simply disgruntled Cubans in large numbers.

The US occupation of Cuba is another crime that they are trying to hide and distort by eliminating all the facts about the genocide and robbery of Cuba.
