Answer 1

The correct option is (B) It made Cuba a protectorate of the United States.

Further Explanation:

The ‘Platt Amendment’ and ‘military occupation’ of Cuba was one of the major causes of conflicts between Cuba and the U.S. There were opposition movements which were continued to spread out across the island and the McKinley’s successor, Theodore Roosevelt blamed America’s friendly ruler, Fulgencio Batista in charge for countering’ the revolutionaries. The Amendment’s clauses prohibited the government of Cuba from entering into an ‘international treaty’ that would compromise ‘Cuban independence’ or allow ‘foreign powers’ to use the island for military purposes.

The amendment also outlined the United States' role in the Cuban and Caribbean regions as it prohibited Cuba from signing treaties and framing foreign policies with overseas nations. It was stated that the boundaries of Cuba will not include “Isle of Pines” until its title is recognized. Cuba was also compelled to grant a lease or sell land to the United States for coal mining and establishing naval station.
