The Spanish-American War The US as a World Power Mrs. Deming

Spanish History By the 1890’s, Cuba and Puerto Rico were the last Spanish colonies in the Americas Cuba rebels against Spanish control Spanish fought back—set up camps to separate ordinary Cubans from the rebels Over 500,000 Cubans—men, women and children—sent to camps

Going to War with Spain Many Americans supported the Cuban uprising Yellow press = sensationalized the news in the media; vivid headlines; “attention-getters”

“Remember the Maine” President McKinley sends the battleship Maine to protect American lives and property Explosion sank the Maine and killed 260 men—no one knows what caused the explosion US blame the Spanish

Going to War with Spain US demanded changes in how Spain governed Cuba—Spain made some but not all… Congress declares Cuba an independent nation in 1898 Spain declares war on the US…..US declares war on Spain

The War in the Philippines Spanish-American War fought on two war fronts (battle zone or area of fighting): Cuba and the Philippine Islands in the Pacific Ocean

Peace Treaty Spain and the US sign a peace treaty for Cuban independence Granted the US Puerto Rico, the Philippines and the Pacific Islands of Guam and Wake—in return, the US paid Spain $20 million Debate—taking colonies violated the Declaration of Independence vs. new business opportunities

The Results… In 1900, Puerto Rico became a US territory—Congress wrote its laws and appointed its government In 1917, Puerto Ricans were given US citizenship Cuba granted independence in 1901 US insists that Cuba lease Guantanamo Bay to the US to use as a naval base

The Panama Canal During the Spanish-American War, the US Navy sent the battleship Oregon from California to Cuba—where did it have to travel???? President Roosevelt offers Colombia $10 million and $250,000 a year in rent to build a canal through Panama
