Cuando se fraguaban las independencias hispanoamericanas la isla de Cuba estaba inmersa en un proceso de redefinición de su economía y sociedad que acabaría imponiendo su especialización en la producción de azúcar para exportar y la trata masiva de esclavos que ello requería. El proceso implicó la redefinición de su relación colonial con España y si bien ello puede ayudar a entender la razón por la que siguió unida a la metrópoli, cuando el resto de su imperio continental en Indias se emancipaba, el motivo es que el proyecto de las elites habaneras en el que se asentó dicha redefinición guarda similitud con el de las oligarquías comerciales y portuarias de otras partes de Hispanoamérica, principales beneficiarias en última instancia de la secesión.
When the Spanish-American independence was forged, Cuba was immersed in a process of redefinition of its economy and society that would eventually impose its specialization in the production of sugar to export and the massive slave trade that it required. The process implied a redefinition of its colonial relationship with Spain, and although this may help to understand the reason why it remained united to the metropolis, when the rest of its continental empire in the Indies was emancipated, the reason is that the project of the elites in which this redefinition was based is similar to that of the commercial and port oligarchies of other parts of Spanish America, the main beneficiaries of secession in the last instance.
