The #PlattAmendment solidified an American monopoly in Cuba & remained law for over 30 yrs before it was repealed & replaced in 1934 with a new U. S. law that “maintained the U. S.’ right to keep Guantánamo Bay forever..." ugly #AmericanHistory #AmericanImperialism 5/6

#PlattAmendment also enabled “U. S. Corporations & banks – including J. P. Mogan & Co, Sullivan & Cromwell & the powerful United Fruit Company [later rebranded Chiquita Brands International Inc.]” to gain “control of Cuban sugar, tobacco, railroads, mining & utilities.” 4/6

#PlattAmendment also required Cuba to ‘sell or lease to the U.S. lands necessary for coaling or Naval stations.’” SOURCE: Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America's Empire by Jonathan M. Katz ugly #AmericanHistory 3/6

Together they drafted the #PlattAmendment & shoved it into the 1901 Army Appropriations Bill. The amendment said, “the U.S. could invade Cuba again whenever it wanted and barred future Cuban governments from making treaties with other powers. ugly #AmericanHistory 2/6

In 1903, the #US and #Cuba signed a lease granting the US permission to use the land on #GuantánamoBay as a coaling and naval station. After the triumph of the #CubanRevolution, the US forcibly remained on site based on the terms of the 1903/1934 #PlattAmendment to rent the land

@JimSpenceSport I think that’s why he was gunned down Jim. Democracy only holds if the establishment agrees with the result. #PlattAmendment

We know about efforts, not refrain | #HelmsBurtonActThis is more interventionist that the #PlattAmendment and the #ReciprocityTreaty #Cuba was forced to sign. It's an attack on the independence and dignity, with openly annexationist, colonialist intentions. #UnblockCuba
