1.Riots in Cuba prompt President McKinley to send the U.S.S. Maine to protect American economic interests 2.American newspapers publish a letter from a Spanish Ambassador that ridicules President McKinley

3. The U.S.S Maine explodes and sinks, killing 250 American sailors – the press blames Spain

4. Another Spanish colony, the Philippines, also begin to rebel, American politicians see it as a great location to protect American trade

5. McKinley sends a list of demands to Spain – Spain agrees to all but independence for Cuba 6. McKinley then requests a declaration of war from Congress

Treaty of Paris Spain recognized Cuba’s independence U.S. paid $20 million for Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam These lands become “unincorporated” territories (not intended for statehood)

How could the United States pursue a policy of colonialism when it violated the founding principle of liberty? (I.E.: Should we pursue a policy of isolationism or imperialism?)
