It doesn't never hold up, it happened quite often during WW2.
But it requires
- That the people you're liberating feel in need of liberation.
- That they believe that your intention is to actually liberate them.
The US view of Cuba is heavily distorted and doesn't match the experience on the ground and the US was 100% intent on returning Cuba to US investors not to the people of Cuba.

I feel like liberating a people from a different foreign occupier is the sticking point with WWII. Even the Nazis had some of that good will in their invasions of Eastern Europe (although the people quickly realized the Nazis had no liberatory intentions).
