The Platt Amendment
The Platt Amendment reserved the United State's right to intervene in Cuban affairs and forced newly independent Cuba to host American naval bases on the island.
No, the Platt Amendment is not in effect today. It was a U.S. law enacted in 1901 that outlined the conditions for U.S. intervention in Cuba and established the terms for the U.S. presence on the island. The amendment was repealed in 1934 as part of a broader shift in U.S.-Cuban relations. Today, Cuba operates as an independent nation without the restrictions imposed by the Platt Amendment.
