Cuba’s independence from Spain came when the United States invaded the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean and the Philippines. For over thirty years, Cubans had been organizing to fight for their independence: The Ten Year War (1868-178), La Guerra Chiquita (1879-1880), and the later Cuban War of Independence (1895-1898).
