The Platt Amendment, which was passed by the US Congress in 1901, established US control over Cuba's foreign policy and finances. Many Cubans were unhappy with the amendment and saw it as an infringement on their country's sovereignty. Some Cubans opposed the amendment through peaceful protests and political action, while others resorted to violent resistance. The amendment was eventually repealed in 1934 as part of a broader effort to improve US-Cuban relations.
