On this day, June 10th, 1898, U.S. Marines began the invasion of Spanish-held Cuba at Guantánamo Bay during the Spanish-American War, expanding U.S. territory in a move toward imperialism. This action marked a shift from America’s early restraint, igniting debates about the cost of empire-building on both human lives and economic freedom. The legacy of this intervention lingers in ongoing geopolitical tensions, with the territory never returning to Cuba and being used to this day as an infamous detention center where constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment are blatantly ignored.
We critique these imperial motives, advocating for non-intervention. The Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania calls for peace over expansionist wars, urging a return to the non-interventionist ideals that once defined our nation, free from the burdens of overseas domination.
