The United States sympathized for Cuban rebels. Spains empire was declining.
Sympathize for Cuban rebels!!!
American Yellow Journalism publishers created false announcements of Spain against Cuba, so the Americans wanted to invade Cuba. They made money off of this.
Lets spread fake news over media to influence people's opinion!!
Good idea!!!!
Explosion of the Maine on February 15th, 1898 sparked a war in the Havana Harbor. Out of 250 on board, 266 died. This ship was originally sent into Cuba to protect American lives and poverty in Cuba.
A war broke out after these events. The Americans were very enthusiastic about the war, but unprepared for the tropical war.
The total death from battle is 385. But, the biggest threat are diseases and sicknesses. The total deaths from sick people are 2,061.
Help!! I got shot!
Watch out!!
The war ends in Decoember 1898 and Spain gave control of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines the United States.
