Calixto García y Iñigues , 1839–98, Cuban revolutionist, a leader in the Ten Years War (1868–78).

Garcia y Iñigues, Calixto

A Dictionary of World History | 2000 | Copyright

Garcia y Iñigues, Calixto (1836–98) Cuban nationalist. He led his country's preliminary struggles for independence from Spain. A leader during the Ten Years' War (1868–78), and the Little War (1879–80), his military efforts enjoyed scant success and resulted in his prolonged imprisonment. Cuban troops under his command supported US forces during the Spanish-American War, but Garcia, shortly before his death, rejected his erstwhile allies, fearing that Cuba had simply exchanged one master for another.
