The War of 1898

In a short reply of one to three sentences, respond to the following prompt: Explain what reasons might lead people to refer to a war as “splendid?”

The War of 1898 was America’s first imperialist war Fought over territories in the Caribbean and Pacific Stress placed on the four main arguments for Imperialism Revolved around matters in Cuba Fought in both Caribbean and Pacific Involved numerous nations

Cuba remained part of the Spanish Empire in the 1890s Major gem in the Caribbean Major supplier of sugar Left without autonomy Why should the U.S. get involved?

The U.S. long had an interest in Cuba Close to the U.S. Major sugar producer Tried to acquire Cuba in the early 1800s

Cuban rebels rose against Spain in 1868 Rebel leaders driven from Cuba in 1878 The island was devastated Spain was bankrupt Cuban emigrés settled in U.S. Cuban planters turned to the U.S. for loans Major U.S. investment in sugar

Inexpensive, sensationalized newspapers Pioneered by William Randolph Hearst Saw a war as a way to sell papers Focused sympathy for the Cuban people in the Cuban War for Independence

Cuban rebels quickly seized the countryside Governor Weyler responded brutally Periodic executions Mass exiles Destroy plantations Reconcentration Camps

Weyler ordered peasants collected into camps Remove support from rebels Keep an eye on suspected rebels Disastrous policy Poor sanitation and medical facilities Lack of food Wiped out 1/3 of Cuba’s rural population

Incredible sympathy for the Cuban people Belief that Spanish were fiendishly cruel

U.S. long-term interest in Cuba U.S. business investment in Cuba Public opinion highly sympathetic to the Cubans All that was needed was a spark

The U.S. battleship Maine exploded in the harbor of Havana on February 15, 1898 Public opinion blamed the Spanish for “mining” the Maine

Congress declared War on Spain on April 25, 1898 Sought to “secure peace in Cuba” War ends in August 1898 Treaty of Paris, 1898 Cuba granted independence U.S. gains Puerto Rico and Guam U.S. paid Spain $25 million for the Philippines
