JG: For those who may not be familiar with Cuban History, this postcard/photo is from the 1900/1902 military occupation of Cuba by the imperialist government of the United States. It was the first U.S. imperialist act of the twentieth century, as the Cuban people did not extend an invitation to Yankees.
