OPERATION UPHOLD DEMOCRACY (1994-95)

In 1994, a U.S. invasion force was assembled but, before deployment, a diplomatic resolution allowed Cedras to step down peacefully, and U.S. forces served as peacekeepers instead.

PROCLAMATION 6867 NATIONAL EMERGENCY (1996)
In 1996, Cuba shot down two Cessna 337 aircraft over international waters in the Florida Straits.

The state of national emergency remains in effect to the present day.
