Histórico
The insurgents' strike against the sugar estates was part of the armed uprising against Spanish authority. Maximo Gomez, Commander in Chief of the Cuban Revolutionary Army, advocated a scorched-earth policy that would adversely affect the economy and in particular the sugar estates. Gomez calculated that this would have the effect of forcing Cuban supporters of Spain to accept the revolution, and on the other hand, Spain would have to concede independence in the face of catastrophic economic losses and inability to control the rebellion.
