Spanish American War |
||||
During
the "Cuban Independence War" better know as the "Spanish
American War" many Cuban countrymen were part of Cuban Liberation
forces fighting the Spanish Colony. |
||||
During
the last few months of the war an American ship called the "Maine" was
sunked in the Havana bay. |
||||
This
particular incident was the one that got the United States involved
in the war the Cubans were fighting to liberate their country from
the Spanish Colony. |
||||
When
the Americans arrived in Cuba they called the brave Cuban farmers
that were fighting the Spanish Colony "War Heros." |
||||
However,
the Cubans didn't speak English and for them "War Heroes" meant "Gua
Jeeros." As the time went by the countrymen ended up being "Guajiros" (Guajeeros) |
||||
Till this day the Cuban farmer or countrymen are called "Guajiros." | ||||
