Question

who do the cuban rebels compare themselves to within the context of the americas own historical past?

Answer 1

The colonial patriots

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1895 the Cuban patriot and revolutionary, José Martí, resumed the Cuban struggle for freedom that had failed during the Ten Years' War (1868-1878). After the rest of the Spanish American empire disintegrated, nevertheless, Cuba's colonial government gradually turned more despotic. The members of the planter class and the intellectuals who had initially opposed independence then began to show their dissatisfaction. Some, favoring reform over revolution, opted for demanding self-government within the framework of the empire. Others sought annexation to the United States as a means of gaining political and economic freedom while preserving slavery. Neither movement made any headway. Annexationism became impractical after the U.S. Civil War. And the prospect of concessions from Spain faded out after the failure in April 1867 of the Junta de Información convened by the Madrid government to discuss the reforms demanded by the Cubans. Feeling the impact of increased taxation and an international economic crisis, a group of planters, cattlemen and other patriots raised the banner of independence on 10 October 1868.

Answer 2

Answer: Cuban rebels typically compare themselves to the colonial patriots of the American Revolution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on historical context, the Cuban rebels typically compare themselves to the colonial patriots of the American Revolution.

The Cuban War of Independence (1895-1898) was a rebellion by Cuban revolutionaries against Spanish colonial rule in Cuba. The revolutionaries, led by figures such as José Martí and Máximo Gómez, drew inspiration from the ideals of liberty, democracy, and independence that had motivated the American Revolution. They also looked to the example of other Latin American independence movements, such as those led by Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín.

While there may have been some comparisons made to other American military forces, such as the American Expeditionary Force during World War I or the Yankee soldiers of the North during the Civil War, these comparisons are less common and less central to the historical context of the Cuban War of Independence.
