The United States intervened in Cuba in 1898 during the Spanish-American War to help Cuba gain independence from Spain. Cuba had been a Spanish colony for centuries and by the late 19th century, there was a growing movement for independence from Spanish rule. The United States became involved in the conflict, supporting Cuban rebels in their fight for independence from Spanish colonial control. The war ultimately resulted in Spain ceding control of Cuba, along with several other territories, to the United States through the Treaty of Paris in 1898. This intervention marked a significant turning point in Cuba's history, leading to its eventual independence from Spain and a shift in its relationship with the United States.
