Reporting life from Cuba were General Jose Marti and General Valleriano are speaking
live today. Espana nosotros queremos nuestra independencia
y por eso empezaremos una revolución en Baire en Bayate en Ibarra y en Guantanamo. Viva
Cuba carajo. Ostia, voy a tener que mandar a 180 mil tropas.
Ustedes no van a poder con esta revolución. Nosotros hemos mantenido a Cuba desde que
llego Colon. No van a tener esa revolución!
So Spain, this is so un cool. What we are going to do with the US is going to send naval ships to Havanna Harbour including the U.S.S
Maine, so watch out Spain. Meanwhile in New York reading the New York
Journal Why doesn't Cuba get their independence? They
want to be independent and they are fighting for it. There are guerrillas and people who
try to find a way to govern their city and not be governed by the government of Spain. This is so unfair!
Oh my God Spain! You have just exploded the
U.S.S Maine that will not be taken lightly ok. Ok that just so uncool Spain, that's so
uncool. Like out of this work uncool, you know. It's like prepare yourself for war because
it will be war, ok. Ostia, que Cuba es de nosotros. La hemos tenido
en nuestro poder desde que la encontramos. No va a ser fácil que ustedes se lleven a
Cuba. Así que nosotros estamos listos para la guerra.
No, no, no we will also take your other colonies like Puerto Rico and like the Philippines.
It's June 1898 The US and Spain have entered a new war for Cuba, we are reporting life
from there. (war sounds)
Oh my God just die already. Arggg..
No! No! The war only lasted three months and few Americans
died, that's why it was called The Splendid Little War. The Platt Amendment was created
so That the US ca intervene in many aspects of the Cuban government.
Vamos a tener que firmar un tratado, primero en Santiago de Cuba. Después uno mas formal
en Paris para dar a Cuba completamente a los Estados Unidos.
So, for the safety of Cuba we're going to hold a constitutional convention and after
the elections we will have more elections, so Cuba can be run by their own people.
Cuban General will speak live now. Pueblo de Cuba esperemos que los Estados Unidos
de America no nos haga lo mismo que nos hicieron los españoles. Viva la patria!
In 1809 the troops retired from Cuba, but intervention remained until the first half
of the XX Century. This was a way for the americans to fulfill their Manifest Destiny.
