Thank You United States!
Your Welcome!
Americas Imperial era in Cuba lasted only about 30 years. Franklin D.

The US helped Cuba win independence from Spain during imperialism. Cuban rebels had won control of most of the land, forced the hungry and disease plagued Spanish army to withdraw into guarded enclaves and made plans to attack Santiago and other cities
