Major General Manuel Antonio de Varona y Miranda dies.

He was a combatant in the three wars for the independence of Cuba. In 1868, when he was only 14 years old, he definitively joined the Mambi troops to fight for the independence of the homeland. When the Chiquita War broke out, with the rank of lieutenant, he joined immediately. On April 15, 1898 he received the rank of brigadier general and on August 24 he was promoted to major general, rank with which the war ended.

Chiquita War

It was an armed uprising in Cuba that lasted less than a year, between 1879 and 1880. It was the indication that the Peace of the Zanjon had not been the last chapter of the independence struggle. The way the Ten Years' War (1868 - 1878) ended and its political and economic consequences left those who had fought heroically for Cuba's freedom for ten long years dissatisfied.
