Explanation:

After the Spanish - American War, Cuba faced political instability. There were corrupt leaders and frequent military coups and uprisings. Cuba did not divide into eastern and western states in this context. The Bolsheviks did not establish a Communist Cuban state in 1928; the Cuban Revolution led to that much later. The US occupation did not establish a long - lasting democratic government that held power until the Cuban Revolution.

Answer:

Political unrest was ongoing under corrupt despots, with frequent military coups and violent uprisings.
