Platt Amendment
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Approved on May 22, 1903, the Platt Amendment was a treaty between the U.S. and Cuba that attempted to protect Cuba’s independence from foreign intervention. It permitted extensive U.S. involvement in Cuban international and domestic affairs for the enforcement of Cuban independence.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cubans opposed the provisions of the Platt Amendment. They claimed it gave far too much power to the United States and deprived Cubans of their independence.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why did the United States insist that the Platt amendment be added to Cuba’s constitution? Because we get naval stations no one else conquering it and the right to intervene to protect Cuba. When did Puerto Ricans gain US citizenship?
