Tying up Loose Ends
• Teller Amendment- US promised not to permanently take over
Cuba
• Platt Amendment- gave Cuba their “sort-of” independence
• Cuba became a protectorate, meaning the US would protect
them in exchange for certain conditions
• Rough Riders- most famous of all the units fighting in Cuba,
name given to the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry under the
leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt resigned his
position as Assistant Secretary of the Navy in May 1898 to join
the volunteer group.
Panama Canal
• Hay-Pauncefote Treaty of 1901 allowed US to build and
manage its own canal
• The Hay–Bunau–Varilla Treaty of 1903 created the Panama
Canal Zone and allowed the US government to begin
building its 51–mile waterway through the Isthmus of
Panama in May 1904.
• The deadly endemic diseases of yellow fever and malaria
were dangerous obstacles in building the canal (caused at
least 20,000 to die)
• a one-time $10 million payment to Panama, and an annual
annuity of $250,000. The United States also agreed to
guarantee the independence of Panama. Completed in 1914,
the Panama Canal symbolized U.S. technological prowess
and economic power
