Effects on Spain
Spain was not looking to gain new territory but
only to hold onto what they already had. Two of
Spain's colonies were causing them problems, the
Philippines and Cuba. Spain lost a lot of troops
in the Spanish-American War. A failure to keep u
p with the industrial revolutions caused the
country to fall behind Britain, France, and
Germany in economic and political power. Spain
remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but
suffered through a devastating civil war
(1936-39).

Effects on Cuba
The native population was quickly destroyed under
Spanish rule, and was soon replaced as laborers
by African slaves, who contributed much to the
cultural evolution of the island.The European
population was continuously increased by
immigration, mainly from Spain but also from
other Latin American countries. Despite pirate
attacks and the trade restrictions of Spanish
mercantilist policies, Cuba prospered.
