The Spanish American War

i think cuba offers a pretty good example of what that model looks like. Despite swearing off any imperial intent before entering the spanish american war, after defeating spain, America went right to work turning cuba into a us. Protectorate. In 19 17 there was a crisis following the massacre of thousands of afriani citizens over a fraudulent election. And so in 19 o 25, it was just a lackey government for corporate and imperial interests.
