The Spanish-American War 1898

The Spanish-American War Chapter 10, Section 2 The Spanish-American War How did the activities of the United States in Latin America set the stage for war with Spain? What were the events leading up to and following the Spanish-American War? What challenges did the United States face after the war? Why did the United States seek to gain influence in the Pacific?

Setting the Stage for War Chapter 10, Section 2 Setting the Stage for War By demanding that a dispute between Venezuela and Great Britain be sent to arbitration, the United States defended the validity of the Monroe Doctrine. (Arbitration is the settlement of a dispute by a person or panel chosen to listen to both sides and come to a decision.) The British government backed down because it needed to stay on friendly terms with the United States.

Setting the Stage for War The United States became involved in the Cuban rebellion against Spain, to protect American business interests. In competition for readership, two New York newspapers wrote exaggerated stories about the Cuban rebellion. This yellow journalism sold a lot of papers but had other effects as well: It whipped up American public opinion in favor of the Cuban rebels. It led to a burst of national pride and the desire for an aggressive foreign policy, which became known as jingoism.

Cuba

Remember the Maine! Feb 15, 1898 - USS Maine battleship blew up in Havana (Cuba) Harbor Americans blamed Spanish Newspapers called for war in retaliation Pressure from the American Public = Pro-war. April 11, 1898 McKinley’s War Message to Congress May 1, 1898 US attacked Spanish fleet in Manila Bay, Philippines (Commodore George Dewey)

The Spanish-American War Chapter 10, Section 2 The Spanish-American War The USS Maine was stationed in Havana harbor. Spanish Ambassador de Lôme insulted President McKinley. The USS Maine exploded, and the American public blamed Spain. Congress recognized Cuban independence and authorized force against Spain. Steps to War May 1, 1898: The United States launched a surprise attack in Manila Bay and destroyed Spain’s entire Pacific fleet in seven hours. July 1: Roosevelt led the Rough Riders up San Juan Hill. July 3: The United States Navy sank the remaining Spanish ships. “A Splendid Little War” The Spanish government recognized Cuba’s independence. Spain gave up the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico in return for $20 million. The island nations then became unincorporated territories of the United States. The Treaty of Paris

Spanish-American War

New Challenges After the War Chapter 10, Section 2 New Challenges After the War Cuba President McKinley installed a military government to protect American business interests. Cuba drafted a constitution in 1900 that did not allow for U.S. involvement. The U.S. government only agreed to remove its troops if Cuba included the Platt Amendment. The Platt Amendment remained in place until 1934. It allowed for U.S. naval bases on the island and intervention whenever necessary. The Philippines President McKinley’s arguments for annexation: Filipinos were unfit for self-government. Independence would bring anarchy. European powers would try to seize the islands. The Filipinos fought a three-year war for independence. The Philippines did not gain complete independence until 1946.

United States Acquisitions and Annexations 1857-1904 Chapter 10, Section 2 United States Acquisitions and Annexations 1857-1904

Other Gains in the Pacific: Hawaii Chapter 10, Section 2 Other Gains in the Pacific: Hawaii The United States government intervened in other parts of the Pacific at the same time that events played out in the Spanish-American War. This intervention eventually brought about changes in the relationships of the United States with Hawaii, Samoa, and China. Hawaii became increasingly important to United States business interests. Hawaii also leased Pearl Harbor to the United States as a fueling and repair station for naval vessels. In 1898, Congress approved the annexation of Hawaii.

Hawaii

Other Gains in the Pacific: Polynesia and Samoa The Polynesian islands of Samoa and their harbor at Pago Pago were also important to the United States. A year after the annexation of Hawaii, the United States acquired the harbor at Pago Pago as well. Other gains: Guam (Island) Wake Island Palmyra Island

Other Gains in the Pacific: China China’s huge population and its vast markets became very important to American trade. President McKinley’s Secretary of State, John Hay, wrote notes to the major European powers trying to persuade them to keep an “open door” to China. He wanted to ensure through his Open Door Policy that the United States would have equal access to China’s millions of consumers.

The Open Door Policy: China

The U.S.was an Emerging World Power The Spanish-American War vaulted the United States onto the World Stage Over the coming years, the United States would embrace several new approaches to foreign policy.
