Cuba - Santiago de Cuba - Arbol de la Paz (Peace Tree)
July 16th, 1898 - Arbol de la Paz / Tree of Peace, Santiago de Cuba, Cuba. On July 16th, after sustaining more than 1, 700 causalities the Spanish Army agreed to an unconditional surrender of all 23, 500 troops that had been scattered about the city. The Armistice was signed at the Arbol de La Paz (a large ceiba tree) by U.S. and Spanish forces. The Cuban Liberation Army did not participate in the act. Sadly, the tree is no longer standing, although the monument remains and a replacement tree is slowly growing in its place! Date: circa 1910s
