Respuesta :
Sensational and largely inaccurate newspaper reports on the cruelty of Spanish rule in Cuba may have helped spark the Spanish-American War.
Because with Christopher Columbus' landing in 1492 and the Spanish invasion that followed, Cuba's history officially began. The island was once home to the indigenous Guanahatabey, Ciboney, and Tano groups, but they were quickly wiped out or perished as a result of diseases or the shock of annexation.
Native American communities had little influence on Cuban society in the future; instead, Spanish institutions, culture, and religion predominated. After Spain invaded the island in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, colonial society took a while to develop; the economy was based on agriculture and pastoral activities.
In the nineteenth century, Cuba had a spectacular awakening. Cuban loyalties started to shift during the end of the nineteenth century as a result of Creole competition with Spaniards for control of the island, an uptick in Spanish oppression and taxes, and the emergence of Cuban nationalism. Thus the sensational and largely inaccurate newspaper reports on the cruelty of Spanish rule in Cuba may have helped spark the Spanish-American War.
The Ten Years' War against Spain (1868–78), which resulted from the convergence of these events, was drawn out and bloody, yet it was unsuccessful in achieving Cuban independence.
