10.2 The Spanish-American War

U.S. and Cuba Cuba was Spain’s colony, we were interested because some businessmen had sugar companies there When Cuban leaders like Jose Marti called for a revolution (against Spain), we supported the Cubans

U.S. and Cuba In the intercepted De Lome letter, a member of the Spanish govt. insulted Pres. McKinley Naturally, this infuriated Americans

U.S. and Cuba Spain sent General Weyler to tame the Cubans He forced them into concentration camps, etc. The practice of “yellow journalism” focused (and sometimes exaggerated) on the horrible treatment of the Cubans

U.S. and Cuba Feb 15, 1898 the U.S.S. Spain, which was supposed to bring home U.S. citizens from Cuba, mysteriously exploded We automatically blamed the Spanish, but no one could prove it.

U.S. beats up Spain Attacked the Spanish in the Philippines (in Pacific) before we invaded Cuba We blockaded the Spanish fleet at Cuba, then invaded with a poorly prepared army We still won that invasion anyway TR (before he became Pres.) lead his volunteers (The “Rough Riders”) into the Battle of San Juan Hill

U.S. beats up Spain In the Treaty of Paris (1898), U.S. wins Puerto Rico and Guam from Spain But we agreed to pay Spain $20 mil for the Philippines
