Entonces, durante mucho tiempo España tomaba decisiones, tomaba decisiones políticas, so|during|a lot of|time|Spain|it was making|decisions|it was making|decisions|political So, for a long time Spain was making decisions, making political decisions,

españoles en la península ibérica, en Europa. Spanish|in|the|peninsula|Iberian|in|Europe of Spain in the Iberian Peninsula, in Europe.

Y como os explicamos en el vídeo anterior que en España había un sistema de gobierno and|as|you|we explained|in|the|video|previous|that|in|Spain|there was|a|system|of|government And as we explained in the previous video, in Spain there was a government system

Pero además de esto, Cuba siguió pidiendo reformas, pidió más libertad para poder but|in addition|of|this|Cuba|it continued|requesting|reforms|it requested|more|freedom|in order to|to be able to But in addition to this, Cuba continued to ask for reforms, it asked for more freedom to be able to

Entonces, en 1893 José Martí funda el Partido Revolucionario Cubano. then|in|José|Martí|he founds|the|Party|Revolutionary|Cuban Then, in 1893, José Martí founded the Cuban Revolutionary Party.

El Partido Revolucionario, que era un partido político que buscaba la independencia de the|Party|Revolutionary|which|it was|a|party|political|that|it sought|the|independence|of The Revolutionary Party, which was a political party that sought independence from

que no tengan comida. that|not|they have|food let's make sure they have no food.

Entonces, España cogió todos los campesinos, toda la gente en Cuba que producía comida then|Spain|it took|all|the|peasants|all|the|people|in|Cuba|that|it produced|food So, Spain took all the peasants, all the people in Cuba who produced food

tampoco tenían suficiente para comer. neither|they had|enough|to|to eat also didn't have enough to eat.

de Estados Unidos. of|States|United From the United States.

Aunque no está muy claro hasta qué punto Estados Unidos apoyaba a Cuba, apoyaba la although|not|it is|very|clear|to|what|point|States|United|it supported|to|Cuba|it supported|the Although it is not very clear to what extent the United States supported Cuba, it supported the

independencia de Cuba o estaba en contra de España. independence|of|Cuba|or|it was|in|against|of|Spain independence of Cuba or was against Spain.

Parece ser que muchos sectores de la población, los ciudadanos de Estados Unidos, muchos estaban it seems|to be|that|many|sectors|of|the|population|the|citizens|of|States|United|many|they were It seems that many sectors of the population, the citizens of the United States, many were

a favor de Cuba. in|favor|of|Cuba in favor of Cuba.

La opinión pública, mucha estaba a favor de Cuba. the|opinion|public|a lot of|it was|to|favor|of|Cuba Public opinion, many were in favor of Cuba.

Los diarios de Estados Unidos llevaban mucho tiempo sacando noticias, a veces podían ser the|newspapers|of|United|States|they had been|a lot of|time|bringing out|news|at|times|they could|to be The newspapers in the United States had been publishing news for a long time, sometimes they could be

exageradas de lo que estaba pasando en Cuba, de lo que estaba haciendo el gobierno español exaggerated|of|what|that|it was|happening|in|Cuba|of|what|that|it was|doing|the|government|Spanish exaggerated about what was happening in Cuba, about what the Spanish government was doing

en Cuba. in|Cuba in Cuba.

Pero parece ser que el gobierno de Estados Unidos realmente no tenía mucho interés but|it seems|to be|that|the|government|of|United|States|really|not|it had|much|interest But it seems that the United States government really wasn't very interested

en ir a una guerra. in|to go|to|a|war in going to war.

Estados Unidos tenía intereses económicos con Cuba y con España, hacían mucho comercio United|States|it had|interests|economic|with|Cuba|and|with|Spain|they did|a lot of|trade The United States had economic interests with Cuba and Spain, they did a lot of trade

Había muchos empresarios en Estados Unidos que tenían esos intereses y parece que la there were|many|entrepreneurs|in|States|United|that|they had|those|interests|and|it seems|that|the There were many businessmen in the United States who had those interests and it seems that the

única razón por la que quizá el gobierno de Estados Unidos cambió su estrategia es only|reason|for|the|that|perhaps|the|government|of|States|United|it changed|its|strategy|it is only reason why the United States government may have changed its strategy is

por la opinión pública. for|the|opinion|public because of public opinion.

Si fue un accidente, si fue un ataque. if|it was|an|accident|if|it was|an|attack Whether it was an accident, or whether it was an attack.

Entonces, parece que la prensa, los diarios de Estados Unidos culparon a España. then|it seems|that|the|press|the|newspapers|of|States|United|they blamed|to|Spain So, it seems that the press, the newspapers in the United States blamed Spain.

En aquel momento España dijo que ellos no habían sido. in|that|moment|Spain|it said|that|they|not|they had|been At that time, Spain said that they had not been responsible.

Estados Unidos. States|United the United States.

A España no le interesaba para nada. to|Spain|not|to it|it interested|for|anything Spain was not interested at all.

Y sería un poco tonto destruir un barco de un país que tiene una flota de barcos, and|it would be|a|little|foolish|to destroy|a|ship|of|a|country|that|it has|a|fleet|of|ships And it would be a bit foolish to destroy a ship of a country that has a fleet of ships,

una flota de acorazados mucho más grande que el tuyo. a|fleet|of|battleships|much|more|large|than|the|yours a fleet of battleships much larger than yours.

Pero aún así, esa fue la teoría que fue aprobada por el Congreso de Estados Unidos. but|still|like this|that|it was|the|theory|that|it was|approved|by|the|Congress|of|States|United But still, that was the theory that was approved by the United States Congress.

La teoría fue que habían puesto una mina, habían puesto debajo del barco una mina, the|theory|it was|that|they had|placed|a|mine|they had|placed|underneath|of the|ship|a|mine The theory was that they had placed a mine, they had placed a mine under the ship,

una bomba que había explotado. a|bomb|that|it had|exploded a bomb that had exploded.

Otra teoría podría ser que había sido un accidente, que con los explosivos que tenían another|theory|it could|to be|that|there had|been|an|accident|that|with|the|explosives|that|they had Another theory could be that it was an accident, that with the explosives they had

en el barco hubiese habido un fuego primero y después hubiese tocado explosivos y hubiese on|the|boat|there would have|been|a|fire|first|and|after|there would have|touched|explosives|and|there would have on the ship there might have been a fire first and then the explosives might have gone off and

explotado. exploded exploded.

Creo que una hipótesis, una hipótesis que creo que es muy factible, que tendría mucho I believe|that|a|hypothesis|a|hypothesis|that|I believe|that|it is|very|feasible|that|it would have|a lot of I think one hypothesis, a hypothesis that I believe is very feasible, that would have a lot

sentido es que revolucionarios de Cuba hubiesen hecho explotar el barco para hacer pensar sense|it is|that|revolutionaries|of|Cuba|they would have|made|to explode|the|ship|to|to make|to think the idea is that Cuban revolutionaries would have blown up the ship to make it seem

que los estadounidenses pensasen que habían sido los españoles y darles una razón al that|the|Americans|they thought|that|they had|been|the|Spanish|and|to give them|a|reason|to the like the Americans thought the Spanish were responsible and give them a reason to

ejército de Estados Unidos de ayudarlos en su lucha. army|of|United|States|to|to help them|in|their|struggle help them in their struggle.

Quizá España ya pensaba que no iba a haber ninguna manera de gobernar Cuba cuando los perhaps|Spain|already|it thought|that|not|it was going|to|to have|no|way|to|to govern|Cuba|when|the Perhaps Spain already thought there would be no way to govern Cuba when the

cubanos realmente no querían que España gobernase, ¿no? Cubans|really|not|they wanted|that|Spain|it governed|not Cubans really did not want Spain to govern, right?
