20 апр 1898 г. - Teller Amendment
Описание:
An amendment to a bill that required all US troops to leave Cuba after its independence had been secured from Spain, allowing it to govern itself. It was passed in order to prove that the US only had humanitarian aims behind the Spanish-American War, not economic or imperialist ones. As promised, after the war, US troops left the island, but the Platt Amendment passed in 1901 forced Cuba to cede important powers to the US, brewing resentment between the two countries.
