EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the intensity and chaos of the Assault on House by Spanish Soldiers during the Cuban Wars of Independence in 1869. The ten-year war, which began in 1868, saw Cuban forces led by generals like Jordan, who are depicted here, fighting against Spanish rule. In this scene, a large crowd of Cuban men, armed with guns, charge towards a thatched building occupied by the staff of General Jordan. The building flies the Cuban flag defiantly, despite the imminent attack. The air is thick with smoke from the gunfire, adding to the sense of urgency and danger. The Spanish soldiers, not visible in this frame, are presumably positioned within the house, preparing for the assault. The crowd's determination is palpable, as they rush forward, ready to confront their enemies head-on. This photograph, taken in 1869, is a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of the Cuban people during their struggle for independence from Spain.
