They thought it was better to incorporate a territory like the Philippines that was farther away and unlikely to become a state; “out of sight, out of mind”

I don’t think it would have happened at all since it was Castro that edged on the Soviet’s to put the missiles in Cuba

Says 1898 while it reads 1899

Imho it should have, Cuba I mean in late 1850s.

You forgot to mention it was much further back then that like the Ostend Manifesto in 1854

the us had to basically sink their own ship and blame Spain since declaring war to them would be seen very bad as Spain helped the us get independence

More then hundred soldiers were killed on that ship it was an accident most likely but it also may had been accident the spanished caused, but even if it wasn't and the USA dod not attack spain colonies , during world war 2 the Japanese woukd have invaded a Spanish held Philippines, and Cuba still be part of Spain and got independence and then Cuba fall to communism anyway only Castro would have had a stronger support from the Cubans who would have grown sick of Spanish imperialism then we get a Cuban missile crisis anyway.

Some comments: 1) Spain didn't rule over Cuba, the Philippines and Puerto Rico... Cuba, the Philippines and Puerto Rico WERE Spain and all the individuals living there had political representation in the Spanish National Parliament and the same rights than the Spaniards from the Peninsula 2) USS Maine didn't explode, USS Maine WAS EXPLODED by the USAmericans to have an excuse to invade Cuba, the Philippines and Puerto Rico. Hitler performed the same trick to invade Poland in 1939 3) After the USAmerican invasion 1,5 M Filipinos (25% of the population at that time) were killed by the USAmericans (shouting "Kill everyone over ten!!") , Cuba was reduced to an economic colony, and Puerto Rico is still a colony of the USAmericans today...

Quick comment because a lot of these comments are making me a little upset especially coming from people who have little to no knowledge or experience from/about cuba. Cuba is a dictatorship and cuba is very communisy, cuba is not perfect cuba is not pretty anymore, theres no food no medicine no money nothing. buildings are crumbling, the people are dying and killing eachother from the desperation that they are feeling. we have been protesting for a few days recently and have been actively crying out for help for years but it falls on deaf ears because unless you are tuned into that news and those specific news outlets, our news doesnt get shared. and if it does get shared its false news put out by the cuban govt to avert attention. but coming from first gen cuban here, WE NEED HELP! Cuba has been suffering for 65 years! I just want my families island to be beautiful and free again😢 I wanna be able to visit with joy and feel proud of my country just like my puerto rican dominican colombian friends feel proud of their country. But all i feel is shame and impotence😕 i hope this reaches the right crowd

Find a bridge & learn uour history, because to reasons that shock even me; no, American Leadership did NOT want to annex Cuba. Because it's pretty obvious we would have had we wanted to. We wanteda world power our of The American Super-Continent, Monroe Doctrine. While backbenchers in American Congress did argue for Cuban annexation, The Presidential figures & leaders in Gov't & Military did not want Cuban annexation. Teddy Roosevelt specifically fighting NOT to annex Cuba i imagine won't even compute with you but that's the truth. Cuba would've stayed a Spanish Colony without American-Spanish War. We didn't invade Cuba, we invaded Spain. Then we granted Cuban independence while annexing every other colony.

We should have kept Greenland.

The US only invaded and easily ousted the Spanish because Cuban rebels who had been fighting since 1895 pretty much defeated them. The promise was Cuban independence. Instead Cuba was betrayed by being turned into a neocolony/protectorate.
