The History of Cuba, vol. 4

"The History of Cuba, vol. 4" by Willis Fletcher Johnson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the crucial events surrounding Cuba's War of Independence, documenting the rise of revolutionary figures such as José Martí, who is pivotal in the struggle for Cuban freedom. It likely serves not only as a record of historical events but also as an exploration of the broader implications of independence for the nation. The opening of the text sets the stage for the narrative by emphasizing the determination of the Cuban people to achieve independence, highlighting Martí's contributions and his role as a leader in the revolutionary movement. It outlines the organizational efforts of the Cuban Revolutionary Party, which was essential in rallying support from Cubans in both the island and the diaspora, particularly in the United States. Martí’s passion and vision for Cuba is reflected in the formation of various committees and the groundwork laid for the armed insurrection against Spanish rule, culminating in the declaration of independence and a commitment to sovereignty.
