Americans and Cubans Approaches to the Platt Amendment

The relationship between the US and Cuba is very difficult, mutual doubt and stubbornness, the United States has repeatedly intervened. The Platte Agreement and Castro's power holding helped to bring difficulties for many years, and the US embargo against Cuba imposes demanding emotions. The two major incidents that caused the most problems were Pigs Bay and Cuba's missile crisis. In 1903, the United States announced "Platform Correction" which is a series of guidelines that Cuba should follow (Blight 165).

After the end of the Spanish-American war, America also occupied Cuba. The US military withdrew in 1902, but the United States was forced to include a platform modification before the Constitution of Cuba. US leaders revealed that their soldiers never leave the island until the correction was verbatim pass, the Cuba Constitutional Council rejected twice, and when the US judged it necessary, Cuba We admitted to intervention. Constitution

Participation by Cuba representatives in the Constitutional Conference must decide whether to accept Pratt's modifications. US officials warrant them that the US does not want to directly affect Cuba's internal affairs, and warn that Congress will impose more stringent conditions if they do not accept the platform revision. After a long debate, most of them were closed and Cuban representatives agreed to do what America wanted in a 15-14 vote. A year later, Thomas Estrada Palma, who lived in the Central Valley town of New York for years, was elected the first President of the Republic of Cuba in elections supervised by the United States. Wood State's military governor has written in private letters what Cuban and all conscious people in the United States know. "Of course, according to Pratt's fix, Cuba is little or not completely independent."
