Platt Amendment:

authorized the United States to intervene militarily in Cuba.

Explanation:

The Platt Amendment was attached to the Army Appropriation Bill of 1901 specifically on March 2, 1901.  It was a treaty between Cuba and the U.S. which allowed the U.S. to intervene militarily to enforce the independence of Cuba.  It also forbade Cuba from transferring land to any other power, except to the U.S.  The treaty limited Cuba's right to enter into any treaty negotiations with foreign governments.  It also ceded the naval base, Guantánamo Bay, to the United States, which it continues to hold till date. The treaty remained in operation till 1934, but was not kindly accepted by Cubans, because they regarde it as too much interference.
