The Spanish- American War SWBAT: Explain how the end of the Spanish-American War effected U.S. imperialist efforts

Do Now  1890’s public opinion was swept by a growing wave of Jingoism- an intense form of nationalism calling for an aggressive/war-like foreign policy  Would the anti-imperialists or pro-imperialists support this policy? Explain.  How does this relate to our current political landscape?

Causes of the War  Economic- US had $50 million invested in Cuba  Cuban Revolution of 1895 endangered these investments  Humanitarian- Americans sympathized with Cuban rebels; Americans upset by tactics of Spanish Generals (Cubans were imprisoned & forced into camps where many died of starvation & disease)  Imperialism- Opportunity to get land from a weak Spanish government

Causes of the War  Yellow Journalism- William Randolph Hearst & Joseph Pulitzer exaggerated & distorted events to create an emotional effect

Causes of the War  The de Lôme Letter- a letter from the Spanish ambassador to the U.S. was intercepted & in it, he called the President of the US (McKinley) a “weak coward”

Causes of the War  Sinking of the USS Maine- the ship exploded in Havana Harbor killing 260 Americans - U.S. officials apparently believed it was a mine, but the American public blamed Spain

War and Results  War is declared in 1898, only lasts 4 months War is declared in “a splendid little war” - 2,446 Americans died, most from disease & infection  Teller Amendment- When US declared war, agreed not to annex Cuba & leave power to the people  Treaty of Paris (1898) 1. Cuba gains independence 2. US pays Spain $20 million for the Philippines 3. Spain gives U.S., Puerto Rico & Guam

“Now, children, you’ve got to learn these lessons whether you want to or not! But just take a look at the class ahead of you, and remember that in a little while, you will be as glad to be here as they are!” “School Begins”

War and Results  Platt Amendment- Cuban independence came with “strings attached”: US given right to lease land for naval base (Guantanamo Bay) & intervene in Cuba to maintain peace & order

What is the cartoonist’s point of view about the annexation of the Philippines?

The Philippine War  Filipinos had been fighting against Spain since 1896  Treaty of Paris  Fight turns against the U.S. for 4 years!

Emilio Aguinaldo, Leader of the Philippine War against American occupation

American Atrocities  Burning of entire villages  Tortured prisoners of war  Rape  Execution of civilians  Concentration camps “[our aim is to] uplift and civilize and Christianize [the Filipinos]” McKinley, 1903

Wrap Up  Read the “Voices of Freedom: McKinley v. Aguinaldo”  Complete the 3 questions when finished.
