The correct response is:
It made Cuba a protectorate of the United States.
The Platt Amendment, enacted in 1901, stipulated several conditions for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Cuba and effectively made Cuba a U.S. protectorate, allowing the United States significant control over Cuban affairs.
