Such, notoriously, has been the result to Great Britain of the establishment of the independence of the United States.
Página 32 - Spain robs the Island of Cuba through its fiscal regime, through its commercial regime and through its bureaucratic regime. These are the three forms of official spoliation ; but they are not the only forms of spoliation. When the war of 1878 came to an end, two-thirds of the Island were completely ruined.
