Pareja's tenure as president abruptly ended in 1922, when he was assassinated by a politically-unaffiliated laborer in Habana. Accordingly to the Cuban constitution, Vice President Ernesto Bienvenida ascended to the presidency and immediately declared a state of rebellion. Bienvenida's government cracked down on political dissent and arrested political enemies. He was regarded as a dictator, and was also colloquially known as 'El Terrible.' Meanwhile, British entrenchment into Cuba grew, as British companies dominated the Cuban mining and agriculture sector and Bienvenida's rule continued to receive support from London. Bienvenida would continue his rule up until the 1930s. The 1930s saw the Cuban government face constant rebellions. The rebels often sought the help of their fellow American nations, most notably Mexico and New Netherland whose governments were against foreign influence in America. These rebels often committed acts of terrorism: burning down of government buildings, attacking British-owned mines, and even holding British nationals as hostage.
=== Mexican and New Netherlander Intervention (1937) ===
In 1937, a collaborative military effort between [[New Netherland]] and [[Mexico]] was initiated to liberate Cuba from Bienvenida's rule. The operation overthrew President Bienvenida, and established diplomatic ties with both New Netherland and Mexico, ushering in a new era of international relations for the island nation.
