FAQs

Why is Cuba's independence dated 1902 and not 1898?

Spain gave up Cuba in 1898 but United States occupation lasted until the republic was declared in 1902.

Cuba remained part of the Spanish Empire until the Spanish-American War of 1898. After that war the United States occupied the island, and Cuba gained independence in 1902, when the Republic of Cuba was declared on 20 May 1902 at the end of the United States occupation.
