War Cuba
Cold War - Cuban Missile Crisis
Cold war: Between Past and Present by Daren Dag
The past decade and more has witnessed sustained discussions among historians of US foreign relations about the state of their discipline in general and of Cold war history in particular. In books and journals, on web sites and at conferences, leading professionals have interrogated themselves, their resources and tools in order to evaluate their ability to analyze and interpret their subject matter. In light of such evaluations, they have gone on to review their readings of American diplomacy and many aspects of the Cold war. They have even reconsidered what terms should best be used to identify their scholarly work: whether, for example, to substitute âforeign relationsâ or âinternational historyâ for âforeign policyâ or âdiplomatic historyâ.
Such discussions are perhaps not surprising, particularly given the ways in, and the speed with, which US foreign relations have been transformed as the Cold war has waned. Not surprisingly, either, no clear agreement on the state of the discipline or the overall nature of the Cold war has resulted. In a 1990 roundtable on methodology, for example, Thomas Paterson had spoken of diplomatic history as a âhighly conflicted yet inviting and fertile intellectual environmentâ characterized by a âhealthy diversityâ. In 1995, by contrast, Diplomatic History editor Michael Hogan was describing the field as âbeleagueredâ. Similarly, in a survey written in 1992, Michael Hunt found the scholarly field be in a state of good health having recently emerged from a âlong crisisâ stretching back over more than two decades. Three years later, however, Melvyn Leffler was questioning whether any such crisis had ever occurred.
If, as most practitioners seem to acknowledge, the discipline has been (and perhaps still is) in an era of transition or flux, then explanations are not hard to find. Two in particular stand out. On the one hand, the collapse of the eastern bloc and the Soviet Union has been accompanied by opening up of previously inaccessible archival resources, not only in Moscow but also in countries as far afield as China and Cuba. At the same time, as John Lewis Gaddis emphasizes in his We Now Know: Rethinking Cold war History (1997), it has at last carried Cold war historians beyond the era of their subject matter. For many if not all aspects of Cold war history, such documentary windfalls and perspectival shifts have promised new answers to old questions and prompted new questions without answers, particularly as western archives continue to release materials, whether as result of routine declassification procedures, mandatory reviews or Freedom of Information Act suits. On the other hand, and perhaps more important for those who spoke of a âcrisisâ, diplomatic history has since the 1970s been subjected to (and professionally marginalized by) mounting criticisms from within the academy, including challenges to its alleged epistemological naivete, its preoccupation with (usually white male) elites, its narrow focus on state-to-state relationships, and its overreliance on the archives of a very limited number of countries.

Answer:
Hey, bubbles, it is the Cuban - Hispanic war. After the yanks entered, then it became the Cuban - Hispanic - American war .
The reason to enter was that the USA were in the imperialistic phase, trying to extend their influence beyond the country. They had been waiting for the appropriate moment to intervene and try to seize Cuba. They also seized Puerto Rico, the Philippines and some other territories.
The Cubans had been fighting for their independence since 1868 and did not tolerate the USA rule, then the USA had no other choice than to grant their independence, but with the Platt amendment, that allowed them to intervene in Cuba whenever they wanted to
