When the Spanish-American War ended, the Teller Amendment had prevented Americans from annexing Cuba, but the Platt Amendment, written into the Cuban constitution at U.S. insistence, granted to the U.S. the right to approve all treaties Cuba might make, and to intervene to maintain domestic order. Americans wanted stability in the Caribbean. U.S. sugar growers did not want to compete with Cuban sugar growers, and kept tariff barriers in place against Cuban sugar. The resultant economic recession in Cuba, combined with Cuban resentment of the Platt Amendment, led to a revolution in 1906. Roosevelt sent in the Marines, who remained in Cuba until 1909, and reoccupied Cuba when the U.S. joined in WWI in 1917, remaining until 1922.

USS Maine, a second-class battleship built between 1888 and 1895, was sent to Havana in January 1898 to protect American interests during the long-standing revolt of the Cubans against the Spanish government. In the evening of 15 February 1898, Maine sank when her forward gunpowder magazines exploded. Nearly three-quarters of the battleship's crew died as a result of the explosion.

While the cause of this great tragedy is still unsettled, contemporary American popular opinion blamed Spain, and war followed within a few months. Maine's wreck was raised in 1912 to clear the harbor and to facilitate an investigation into the cause of her sinking. Her remains were subsequently scuttled in deep waters north of Havana.

For hundreds of years Cuba was a Spanish colony. During the late 19th century Cubans became increasingly motivated to gain independence. Spain countered this demand by cracking down and killing many dissidents or imprisoning them in concentration camps. US business leaders and government officials reported back to the US about these actions.
