American+Control



During the time period in which the United States controlled cuba (from 1898-1902), there were serious problems with the Cuban economy. The major cause of this happened to be the presence of their so called saviours, the United States. Cuba as a nation was insignificant to the United States, in all but one respect: resources. When the United States held power over Cuba, they did what they had initially liberated Cuba from. They used the country in order to benefit themselves.
