Protectorate- a mix of Progess, tectonic plates, and decorating

Protectorate (n.)- an independent country whose policies are controlled by an outside country.Really, that does not sound like an ide that would work or is good. An example of one of these countries is Cuba. The United States forced Cuba to include the Platt Amendment in its new constitution. This gave the US the power to intervene in Cuban affairs. It also limited the powers to borrow money and make treaties.
   It is an example of the theme "Foreign version of Manifest Destiny." America put itself in charge of Cuba. This was America spreading the notion of greatness to Cuba. Now American expansion had spread to a foreign nation.
