How does imperialism mesh with American ideals? Consider: What are American ideals? Who do they apply to?

USS Maine- What happened? Can you think of any modern parallels?

“There’ll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight” What does this song tell you about the attitude of Americans towards the war?

San Juan Hill

End of war: United States defeated the Spanish in Santiago August 12 - Treaty of Paris signed, ending the “splendid little war.” US gains Cuba, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines
