Cuban-Americans Celebrating May 20



Cuba gained formal independence 
from the U.S. on May 20, 1902, 
as the Republic of Cuba
Under Cuba's new constitution, 
the U.S. retained the right to intervene 
in Cuban affairs and to supervise its finances 
and foreign relations. 
Under the Platt Amendment, 
the U.S. leased the Guantánamo Bay naval base 
from Cuba.
