1895 Cuban War of Independence

The 1895 Cuban War of Independence was Cuba’s struggle to break free from Spanish colonial rule. Cubans sought self-governance and ended Spanish control through a series of uprisings and guerrilla warfare. The conflict was fueled by economic hardships, lack of political freedoms, and national pride. It also drew international attention, eventually prompting the United States to intervene in 1898, leading to Spain relinquishing control in the Treaty of Paris. The war marked a crucial step toward Cuba’s eventual independence, establishing a foundation for the nation’s future sovereignty.
