Abstract: Abstract On 20 May 1902, the Republic of Cuba was officially and internationally acknowledged and recognized as a state. It had been the last Spanish colony in America to gain independence and had to establish its republican institutions based on a heritage of four centuries of slave work. The new Republic had first to overcome the destruction wrought by the war of independence (1895–98) in order to reorganize the national economy and implement and assimilate the political practices related to the social order constituted with the Republic.
