U.S. Troops Land at Daiquirí, Cuba

June 22nd, 1898 126 years ago

A chaotic military operation unfolded as 6,000 men of the U.S. Fifth Army Corps landed at Daiquirí, Cuba, approximately 16 miles east of Santiago de Cuba. Although outnumbered two-to-one, the Spanish forces, led by Lt. Gen. Arsenio Linares y Pombo, chose not to contest the landings. This initial landing marked the beginning of U.S. ground operations aimed at capturing Santiago, a strategic objective during the Spanish-American War.
