Answer:
The answer is "Fear of Communism."
Explanation:
The Cuban fight for independence took place in the late 1890s. U.S. concerns were commercial, economic and about security. Cuba turned into a Communist country in the early 1960s following the revolution led by Fidel Castro.
Whilst Liberalism is founded on ideas of freedom, equality and liberty. Social Democracy is the best balance of freedom and equality because it promotes social justice in a capitalist economy and a liberal democratic view. Also, communism has, historically, a poor reputation for freedom and equality. For example, China and North Korea are current communist countries and Russia previously was a communist country after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Some historians have argued that the American Revolution was not revolutionary in nature. Instead of fostering revolutionary change, it maintained continuity.
I think that the American Revolution was a genuine revolutionary movement stemmed from the anger and desperation of the American colonists that suffered many grievances from the British government.
The 13 American colonies had to pay heavy taxation such as the Navigation Acts, the Stamp Acts, the Tea Act. The worst part was that Colonists did not have any voice or representation in the English Parliament.
That is why colonists created secret groups such as the Sons of Liberty and people like Samuel Adams united other colonists against the English crown.
It is true that there were also some particular agendas inside the revolutionary movement, specifically, economic ones. But in essence, for me, it was a true independence movement.
