which was the purpose of the platt amendment?\no authorized the united states federal government to annex cuba\no promised that the united states would never intervene again in cuba\no preserved cuban independence but claimed the right to intervene in cuban affairs\no stated the u.s. would leave cuba as soon as independence from spain was secured
Answer
Brief Explanations:
The Platt Amendment preserved Cuban independence but claimed the right to intervene in Cuban affairs. It was a condition for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Cuba after the Spanish - American War. It did not authorize annexation (as it was about a form of quasi - independence with U.S. influence), it did not promise no U.S. intervention (it actually allowed for intervention under certain circumstances), and it was not just about leaving after independence from Spain (it set up a long - term relationship of U.S. influence).
Answer:
preserved Cuban independence but claimed the right to intervene in Cuban affairs
