Thanks, Marta Elena!

I had to look up the Cuban War of Independence. :oops: I am often amazed by how little we in the US know about our neighbors' history.
Wikipedia wrote: The Cuban War of Independence (1895–1898) was the last of three liberation wars that Cuba fought against Spain, the other two being the Ten Years' War (1868–1878) and the Little War (1879–1880). The final three months of the conflict escalated to become the Spanish–American War, with United States forces being deployed in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippine Islands against Spain. ....
