Spanish-American War USHC 5.2

USHC 5.2 Explain the influence of the Spanish-American War on the emergence of the United States as a world power, including the role of yellow journalism in the American declaration of war against Spain, United States interests and expansion in the South Pacific, and the debate between pro- and anti-imperialists over annexation of the Philippines.

Cuba The involvement of the United States in the Spanish-American War marked America’s emergence as a world power. The humanitarian desire to support the rights of Cubans against an oppressive Spanish regime contributed to the United States’ involvement in the war because of sympathy for the democratic aspirations of the Cuban rebels

Expanded Navy Pressures from domestic tensions at home and expanding capitalism pushed Americans to find new markets and impelled involvement. The push for increased naval power [Alfred Thayer Mahan] also contributed to the United States’ entry into the war The expanded navy helped to prepare America for involvement world-wide.

Yellow Journalism Yellow journalism led to a public outcry for American involvement in Cuba’s struggle for independence. Competition for sales between rival newspapers in New York led to sensationalism. Sensationalism was exacerbated by the explosion of the U.S.S. Maine in Havana’s harbor and the publication of the DeLome letter. All of these factors put pressure on President McKinley to ask Congress for a declaration of war.

New Territories The initial result of the war declaration was expansion of the United States in the South Pacific the annexation of Hawaii and the capture of Manila Harbor in the Philippines. Both of these islands offered the United States a convenient fueling stop on the way to markets in the Far East.

Philippines When the war ended, the Anti-Imperialists argued against annexation of the Philippines on the grounds that the Filipinos could never be incorporated into the union. McKinley argued that it was an American responsibility to govern the Filipinos who were incapable of governing themselves. Social Darwinism and racial prejudices played a role in both of these arguments Shown domestically in the passage of the Jim Crow laws and restrictions on voting for African Americans

New Territories The treaty ending the war recognized United States’ ownership of the: Philippines Wake Island Guam Puerto Rico United States’ control of Cuba With the acquisition of new lands came the struggle to govern these areas.

New Territories The United States soon faced armed resistance in the Philippines. The United States Supreme Court ruled in several (the Insular) cases that the ‘Constitution does not follow the flag so subject peoples did not have the same rights as citizens of the United States.’

New Territories Unlike the contiguous territories populated by westward migration, these new lands were not offered statehood. The perception of the United States among subject peoples therefore changed from a champion of liberty to a colonial power, just like European powers.
