 One Hundred Years After Signing the Treaty of Paris With no Cubans Present
This 10th of December, 1998, marked the one hundredth anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Paris which put an end to the war between the United States of America and Spain, which fundamentally originated around the case of Cuba.
Unfortunately, there was no Cuban representation in the negotiating table in Paris which would have been interested in the political future of the island, preventing interferences on the part of Washington which were detrimental for the Cuban nation that after four years of American occupation obtained its independence.
The one hundredth anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1898, brings sad memories to the Cubans whose forebearers fought as allies of the United States but were left out in the Paris negotiations.
