1864 CE to 1875 CE

The war centers in eastern Cuba.

Céspedes decrees the destruction of cane fields and approves the revolutionary practice of urging the slaves to revolt and to join the mambises, as the Cuban rebels are now called.

Numerous skirmishes take place, but Cuban forces are unable to obtain a decisive victory against the Spanish army.

Simultaneously, Céspedes makes several unsuccessful attempts to obtain United States recognition of Cuban belligerency.
