Yellow Journalism American sentiment is tilted towards the Cubans in part because of exaggerated stories of Spanish cruelty peddled by newspaper magnet William Randolph Hurst, a Practice called “yellow journalism” Hurst once said “give me the pictures and I will give you the war”

Remember the Maine!!!! With tensions boiling the USS Maine is sunk by a mysterious explosion in Havana Bay. It was in Cuba to protect American lives and property. No one knows exactly what happened, but Hearst thinks it was the Spanish. The US president asks for a declaration of war against Spain & gets one. The cry rings out, “remember the Maine! To hell with Spain!”

American Entry In response to the Declaration of war Commodore Dewy steams a USN fleet not to Cuba, but to another Spanish possession, the Philippines, which was also facing a native rebellion, beats the Spanish fleet at the Battle of Manila Bay and with native help takes the Philippines.

Riding Rough After Manila US Army Forces Land in Cuba and Puerto Rico. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt leads his cavalry unit to victory at the battle of San Juan Hill. The US wins the War in only a few months. Spain Cedes Rico and the Philippines to US, Cuba becomes US protectorate.
