A conflict started with Cuba, known as the Ten Years' War.

In 1868, Spain saw the outbreak of the Ten Years' War, an armed conflict that ignited with Cuba. Fueled by deep-rooted discontent and desire for independence, the Cubans fought against the Spanish colonial rule. The war marked a significant turning point in Spain's relationship with its colonies, as it showcased the growing tension and aspirations for self-governance. The conflict unfolded over a decade, characterized by guerrilla warfare, battles, and sieges. It became a protracted struggle, with both sides enduring heavy casualties and atrocities. The Ten Years' War highlighted the determination of the Cuban people to break free from colonial domination, laying the foundation for future movements seeking independence from European powers. The war would eventually end in 1878, not accomplishing its ultimate objective of full liberation for Cuba but setting the stage for further revolts and ultimately the triumph of the Cuban Revolution decades later. #Spain #TenYearsWar #Cuba #Independence #Colonialism
