Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The correct answer is B: Cuba did not have a role in negotiating terms in the Treaty of Paris; Spain agreed to cede Cuba to the US. In the Platt Amendment, Cuba agreed to American intervention and to lease Guantánamo Bay to the US. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ The Treaty of Paris (1898) ended the Spanish-American War, resulting in Spain ceding territories, including Cuba, to the United States. The Platt Amendment (1901) established conditions for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Cuba, including the right of the U.S. to intervene in Cuban affairs and the lease of Guantánamo Bay. (KC-7.3.II.B) ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Cuba did not participate in the negotiations of the Treaty of Paris, which concluded the Spanish-American War. Instead, Spain ceded control of Cuba to the United States. Later, the Platt Amendment was incorporated into the Cuban Constitution, allowing the U.S. significant influence over Cuban affairs and the establishment of a naval base at Guantánamo Bay. ⚹◊What role did Cuba play in the peace talks of the Treaty of Paris and the Platt Amendment?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊⚶[{"title": "The Platt Amendment", "video_link": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idw6zEzRbeE"}, {"title": "Platt Amendment - the Us Colonization of Cuba", "video_link": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dU2D7mGQcQ"}]⚶
