🇨🇺 #Cuba #KingAlfonsoXIII 1898 turn of the century. #stamp #sello #monarquia #filatelia #philatelia The Alfonso collection from this time is notorious for the stamp forgeries. In 1898, the war for independence from Spain was still raging ( The Ten Year War). A year prior, Valeriano Weiler ( Butcher Weiler) left the island after his repressive failure known as the reconcentration, where a lot of Cuban families, including mine, where confined into towns. Years later, dictator Castro would repeat the same with the Captive towns ( Pueblos Cautivos) and the Umap( forced labor camps for dissidents, religious groups and the lgtbq) | Por algún motivo, esta collección de sellos de Alfonso tiene reproducciones falsas. En 1898, Cuba aun seguÃa bajo la guerra de los 10 Años, independentistas vs. la corona. Un año antes el general represor Valeriano Weiler dejaba el paÃs tras el fracaso de la reconcentración, un desplazamiento masivo de familias, incluyendo la mÃa, confinadas a pueblos. Años mas tarde, este tipo de práctica represiva serÃa continuada por el dictador #Castro con los Pueblos Cautivos y los campos de trabajo forzados #Umap.
