Aim #55: Why did the U.S. go to war with Spain? Do now! Take practice DBQ and chart Mrs. O’Malia would also like if you had out your hw from last night. PLEASE ALSO HAVE OUT HW AND MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS ON IT!

(I) Causes of the Spanish-American War sympathy for Cuban independence movement Cubans fighting against Spain Led by Jose Marti b. How did Spanish deal with revolt? 1. Spanish sent General Valeriano “Butcher” Weyler who put Cubans in concentration camps (set example for Hitler and Stalin in later history)

c. 3rd cause: De Lome Letter b. 2nd cause Economic: US had millions of dollars invested in sugar plantations in Cuba c. 3rd cause: De Lome Letter Intercepted letter that was highly critical of President McKinley Printed on front page of NY Journal Americans considered it an insult against the US

d. Yellow Journalism: use sensational headlines and stories to sell newspapers 1. Competitors were William Randolph Hearst’s NY Journal and Joseph Pulitzer’s New York World 2. Exaggerate accounts of the war 3. Leads to American sympathy for the rebels, and a greater cry for American intervention 4. “You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war”

Mrs. O’Malia’s humble digs…OR Hearst Castle???

e. Sinking of the USS Maine 1. (Feb. 1898): US battleship Maine exploded in Havana harbor killing 260 Americans 2. Yellow press blamed explosion on Spanish (till this day no one actually knows what happened) Funeral for Maine victims in Havana

What reasons did McKinley give in favor of war with Spain What reasons did McKinley give in favor of war with Spain? (look at do now) (II) What was the Teller Amendment? States that US had no intention of taking political control in Cuba Promised to return Cuba to Cuban people after war (III) The War Itself John Hay called it a “splendid little war” Actually started in Philippines (also a Spanish colony) More Americans died from disease (malaria, typhoid and dysentery) than battle d. Battle of San Juan Hill: cavalry charge led by Teddy Roosevelt and his “Rough Riders”

IV. Results of War Treaty of Paris (yes, another one) Recognition of Cuban independence US acquired Spanish colonies of Puerto Rico and Guam Spain gave up Philippines for $20 million b. Platt Amendment (aka “we were just kidding about that Teller Amendment thing” Prohibited Cuba from making treaties with foreign powers Permitted US to intervene in Cuban affairs to protect liberty and maintain order Allowed US to maintain military base in Guantanamo Bay
