Question

What was the platt agreement

Answer 1

The Platt Agreement was a treaty between the United States and Cuba, signed in 1903. It granted the United States the right to intervene militarily in Cuba in order to protect American interests and maintain stability in the region. The agreement also allowed the United States to establish a naval base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. This agreement essentially gave the United States significant control over Cuban affairs, leading to resentment and tensions between the two countries.
