00:00Most Americans do not know that Cuba has failed to make part of the United States.
00:03In February 1899, while Cuba was still under Spanish domination,
00:09the USS Maine has exploded and fell into the port of the Havana,
00:12which gave the United States a perfect reason to declare war in Spain.
00:16In April 1898, to support Cuban independence,
00:20the United States invaded Cuba.
00:22The Spanish troops were forced to leave,
00:25which gave the control of the island to American authorities.
00:27After the United States took control of the island,
00:31many people wanted Cuba to become a state of the United States
00:34and also proposed the annexion of Cuba.
00:37However, this was not possible because of the Taylor Taylor amendment,
00:40which allowed the United States to use military or naval
00:43to help Cuba to obtain its independence,
00:46and stipulated clearly that once the independence was acquired,
00:50the United States would not try to take control of Cuba,
00:53even though they had established significant influence on the island.
00:56The United States have given to Cuba its independence,
00:59but under many conditions favorables to the United States.
