Cuban War of Independence
February 24, 1895
Jose Marti and Maximo Gomez landed in eastern Cuba and raised the flag of a third rebellion against Spain. Marti was killed within weeks, but the war dragged on viciously, with Spanish general Weyler interning the rural population in reconcentrado camps. American newspapers howled. The war for Cuba Libre was setting the stage for US intervention.
