Chapter 7 Section 2

Cuba & Spain Cuba began fighting for independence from Spain in 1868. In 1878, the rebellion collapsed. Many rebels fled to the United States.

Cuban Economy Americans had invested millions of dollars economically in Cuba’s railroads and sugar plantations. They bought Cuban sugar. Then a new tariff on sugar caused the sale of Cuban sugar to fall. This hurt Cuba’s economy. Rebels rose up against Spain again in February 1895 and declared Cuba independent.

Yellow Journalism Americans read stories of Spanish brutality in newspapers and caused most Americans to side with the Cuban rebels. This sensational reporting became known as yellow journalism. Although many stories were exaggerated, Cubans suffered greatly.

A Warning President McKinley warned Spain that the United States might intervene. Spain removed the Spanish governor of Cuba and offered Cuba autonomy, or self-rule, if it agreed to remain part of the Spanish empire. The Cubans refused.

Remember the Maine In 1898, riots started in Havana. McKinley sent the battleship Maine to evacuate Americans in Cuba. When it exploded in Havana’s harbor, Americans blamed Spain. Jingoism, or aggressive nationalism contributed to the push for war. Congress declared war on Spain on April 19, 1898.

WAR! Spain was not prepared for war, but the U.S. Navy was. A U.S. Navy fleet blockaded Cuba. Another fleet attacked and destroyed the Spanish fleet in the Philippines. With the help of local rebels, the navy fleet took control of the Filipino capital, Manila.

Army not ready The U.S. Army was not as ready for war as the navy was. However, on June 14, 1898, about 17,000 soldiers landed in Santiago, Cuba.

Rough Riders A volunteer cavalry regiment called the “Rough Riders” accompanied them. They were a group of cowboys, miners, and law officers. Colonel Leonard Wood commanded them, and Theodore Roosevelt was second in command. The Rough Riders and the army troops defeated the Spanish in two battles.

Spanish are Defeated The Spanish commander in Santiago ordered his fleet to leave the harbor. American warships attacked, sinking many ships. The Spanish in Santiago surrendered. Soon American troops occupied the Spanish colony of Puerto Rico.

Post-War After the war, Cuba obtained its freedom, and the United States annexed Guam and Puerto Rico. The question of what to do with the Philippines remained open. Some Americans pushed for annexing the Philippines. Others opposed it.

Philippines When the United States signed the Treaty of Paris with Spain in 1898, it agreed to pay $20 million to annex the Philippines because annexation would provide a large market for American goods.

Cuba and US Although Cuba became independent, President McKinley made sure it remained tied to the United States. He allowed Cuba to set up a new constitution under conditions that effectively made Cuba a protectorate of the United States. These conditions became known as the Platt Amendment. Cuba reluctantly added the amendment to its constitution.

Puerto Rico The United States had to decide how to govern Puerto Rico. At first it was governed by a U.S.-appointed official. Congress gradually gave Puerto Rico more self-government. The debate over whether Puerto Rico should become a state, an independent country, or remain a commonwealth continues today.

Philippines In the Philippines, rebels fought the United States for control of the islands. The United States responded by treating the Filipinos much like Spain had treated the Cubans. Thousands died in reconcentration camps.

Filipino Independence The United States instituted reforms in the Philippines, which eased Filipino hostility toward it. Over the years, the United States gave the Filipinos more control. It finally granted independence to the Philippines in 1946.
