The militant group led by José Martí in Cuba was known as the Cuban Revolutionary Party, which he founded in 1892. Martí played a crucial role in the fight for Cuban independence from Spanish colonial rule. He galvanized support and aimed to unite various factions of the Cuban independence movement, advocating for both political freedom and social justice. His leadership and vision were instrumental during the Ten Years' War (1868-1878) and later in the War of Independence (1895-1898), wherein he is celebrated as a national hero and a key figure in Latin American literature and politics.
