The Spanish-American War

Question 7 • MO-US History II A

What was the main similarity between the Teller Amendment of 1898 and the Platt Amendment of 1901?

Answer
A
They both concerned the rights of the US Navy in the Caribbean.
B
They both supported the Cuban constitution.
C
They both limited Cuba’s trading rights with Spain.
D
They both were concerned with the rights of Cuba.

Explanation

Both amendments addressed Cuba’s status and its relationship with the United States. The Teller Amendment promised that the United States would not annex Cuba after the Spanish-American War, while the Platt Amendment set limits on Cuba’s independence and allowed U.S. intervention in certain circumstances. Their shared concern was Cuba’s rights and political status, not trade with Spain or Navy rights in the Caribbean.
