Spain declares occupation of Cuba

Spain's declaration of occupation of Cuba refers to the event on April 24, 1898, when King Alfonso XIII of Spain declared that the island of Cuba would be completely under Spanish control. This announcement occurred during the Spanish American War between Spain and the United States. The reason why Spain announced its occupation of Cuba was because Cuba had always been a colony of Spain during that period, and the increasing influence of the Cuban independence movement made the Spanish government feel threatened.
