The Cuban Junta was a group made up of Cuban nationalists located in a variety of parts of the United States of America. Throughout their time there were a variety of missions and goals that they had set to benefit their fellow people in the country of Cuba. The Spaniards and Spanish American War played a heavy factor in the reason the Junta was formed to help spread awareness to the people located in the United States of America of the issues that were associated with Cuba and Spain. The first Cuban Junta was established in 1848 and their propagandas lasted through the war in 1898.

The first Cuban Junta was established in 1848 and their goal was to have the United States purchase Cuba from Spain. The second Junta was established in 1869 with a similar goal of achieving annexation of Cuba through diplomacy. Neither of these first two Juntas were successful. Although unsuccessful, both of these propagandas paved a way for the success of the Junta in 1989. One of the main factors in this success was the funds that were created through spreading awareness to the American people of the hardships that the Cuban people were facing during this time period. The members of the Junta felt that this relationship with the people of America would be necessary in their progression as a people and a country, plus they helped provide necessities that were lacking in the country.

The Cuban Junta consisted of a variety of different Cuban Nationalists who felt they could make a change. Yellow journalism and yellow press was one of the ways that they were able to execute the spreading of news. Two of the main groups of committees in the Cuban Junta were located in New York and Florida. Along with the yellow press, creating and nourishing relationships with the statesman was a way to spread their propagandas.
