Military Government of Cuba

Military Government of Cuba was a colony in Caribbean (Mesoamerica and Caribbean) that lasted from 1898 to 1902 CE, about 4 years. The timeline colours it by the language of its rulers: Germanic (Gothic, Frankish, English, German, Dutch, Norse).

Provisional US military government set up in the aftermath of the Spanish-American War in 1898. The Platt Amendment defined the terms on which the United States would end its occupation, and the Republic of Cuba was born when the 1901 constitution took effect on 20 May 1902.
