Jose Marti

Guerilla Warfare…

Valereano “Butcher” Weyler & “reconcentration” camps…

YELLOW JOURNALISM!!!

Dupuy de Lome Letter… “Besides the natural and inevitable coarseness with which he repeats all that the press and public opinion of Spain has said of Weyler, it shows once more what McKinley is: weak and catering to the rabble, and, besides, a low politician, who desires to leave a door open to me and to stand well with the jingoes of his party.”

The Maine!

President McKinley feels the pressure… “I would give anything if President McKinley would order the fleet to Havana tomorrow. The Maine was sunk by an act of dirty treachery on the part of the Spaniards…. The President has no more backbone than a chocolate eclair.” – Theodore Roosevelt

“a splendid little war…” Less than four months 345 Americans killed Rough Riders made famous!

Spain grants Cuba independence… Island still chaotic – McKinley sets up U.S. military government to help island

Writing a Cuban Constitution U.S. insists on Platt Amendment - Severely limits Cuban independence No right to borrow from foreign powers U.S. has right to intervene in Cuban affairs to “protect” U.S. establishes two naval stations on island Cuba hates it, but must agree for U.S. troops to withdraw
