    1. The Platt Amendment would likely be seen as ironic as Cuba was not vulnerable to European nations as much as it was vulnerable to America's new desire to become an imperial nation itself.

    2. The United States likely would not European influence in Cuba as the United States wanted to influence Cuba.

    1. The United States was interfering in Cuba's affairs while demanding that other nations not do the same to Cuba.

    2. US leaders didn't want powerful European nations to have influence so close to the United States.

    US leaders wanted to have the influence in terms of trade and Latin American affairs.
