I posted a "Wank All Three North American States" rough TL a few weeks ago and this inspired me to think about it.
I'm thinking in that timeline, Cuba will be part of the Carlist exiled Spanish Empire centered in Mexico City, but as the outlying regions of the empire revolt and the U.S. jumps on Mexico's back, I figure they'd grab Cuba too.
In my Steampunk TL, the CSA attempts to invade Cuba in the later 19th Century and their navy gets thrashed and their army gets stranded and much of the soldiery dies of disease before a peace treaty leads to them being repatriated.
Not sure what else happens to Cuba in that scenario though.
