revolution inspires revolution
TBHC110 years ago…
October 12, 1896 – Tampa’s Cuban population celebrates the twenty-eighth anniversary of the beginning of their country’s 1868 revolution against Spanish rule. While ultimately unsuccessful, local Cubans pointed to that revolution as inspiration for their country’s current struggle with Spain. Cuba would win its (relative) independence two years later, with US assistance, at the conclusion of the brief Spanish – American War.
