2 nd War for Cuban independence Jose Marti (The Butcher) - A Cuban poet and journalist that deliberately destroyed American sugar cane mills and plantations - Why??? _____________________________ - CUBA LIBRE!!!!

Headline Wars / Yellow Journalism Yellow Journalism – introduced in the Spanish American War (1898)  The sensational style of writing, which exaggerates the news in order to lure and enrage readers  Example: Cuban children being thrown to sharks (1) William Randolph Hearst (2) Joseph Pulitzer

William Randolph Hearst “You furnish the pictures, I’ll furnish the war” - William Randolph Hearst (Spanish American War) - Interpretation: as long as pictures are taken…Hearst will write outrageous stories to support a war between Spain and the U.S.

De Lome Letter Written by a Spanish minister Cuban rebel (intercepted) the letter and put it in the hands of the Americans  Topics: President McKinley and America were WEAK! De Lome apologized, but America got really angry!

The U.S.S. Maine EXPLODES!!!! ***** THE MAIN CAUSE OF THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR (1898) ***** President McKinley sent the U.S.S. Maine to Cuba to bring home American diplomats (Havana Harbor) Feb 15, 1898…the U.S.S. Maine EXPLODED, killing 260 Americans

U.S.S. Maine Explosion

War Erupts between Spain and America U.S. battle cry for U.S intervention in Cuba / against Spain = “Remember the Maine” Congress declares war and its on! What caused the Spanish American War DIRECTLY…INDIRECTLY??? War in the Philippines: - First battle of the Spanish American War (Not Cuba, like Spain expected!)

War in the Philippines FIRST BATTLE OF THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR Leader: George Dewey U.S. gained support by the Filipinos – oppressed by Spain and wanted freedom! End of the War in the Philippines: Manila: Philippine Capital, Spain surrendered…. Now we need to go to Cuba!

Treaty of Paris December 10, Spain and America meet in Paris to discuss an “armistice” Results:  Cuba = FREE  Guam = Owned by America  Philippines = Purchased by America  Puerto Rico = Owned by America

Debate over Treaty of Paris / Imperialism Support: 3 goals and others….. Non-Support:  Booker T. Washington – “lets solve American issues first!”  Samuel Gompers – “Filipinos will come over and compete for jobs” Anti-Imperialistic League – against imperialism because it abandoned American ideas of democracy / imperialism is racially and corruptly driven / imp. = death! Ex. Andrew Carnegie & Mark Twain
