Welcome to the forums, by the way!

I understand that after the Hispanoamerican War around 1898. The american Generals thanks the Cuban soldiers that help to win that war.
And call them "WAR HEROES" and from that comes what is call an "anglicismo" or "barbarismo" that translate the word to "WAJIROS"...
