Explain

<p> This question refers to a piece of U.S. legislation during the time period following the Spanish-American War of 1898. After the war, the U.S. gained control of certain territories including Cuba. The Zimmerman Note was a proposal by Germany to Mexico to make war against the United States, therefore this is not the correct answer. The Treaty of Paris ended the Spanish American War; however, it does not specifically state the rights of the U.S. in Cuban affairs. The Teller Amendment enacted in 1898, at the height of the Spain- US war, proclaimed that the U.S. could not establish permanent control over Cuba. Therefore, the correct answer can only be the Platt Amendment. This legislation, made an amendment to the Army Appropriation Act of 1901 proposed by Senator Orville Platt. The Platt Amendment was withdrawn in 1934 during the Good Neighbor Policy, but before that point, the provisions of the Platt Amendment defined the terms of U.S. Cuban relations essentially allowing the U.S. control over Cuban affairs. </p>
