I've never written a very in depth timeline before but was recently struck by an idea to create a truly independent Cuba without the trappings of US intervention and the Platt Amendment. The main POD is probably going to be José Martí living through the Battle of Dos Ríos and thus maintaining the military junta governing the revolutionary movement. I'm also envisioning heightened resistance to the US in Hawaii and more intense strikes in the early 1890's culminating in a disastrous version of the Pullman Strike keeping American eyes focused on domestic problems. Any ideas on this being feasible and plausible? Any help for a lowly newbie would be much appreciated.
