Question

What did the Teller Amendment state?
I'm studying it, and know that it has to do with Cuba, but did it say that the U.S. could not annex them? Or just not mistreat them?

Answer 1

It stated that the U.S could not establish permanent control over Cuba following the cessation of hostilities with Spain.

Answer 2

So they couldn't annex them right?

Answer 3

Yes, annex means to add on, or attach to.
So by gaining permanent control over Cuba, we would Annex them into our country.
