The Main Idea A quick victory in the Spanish-American War gave the United States a new role as a world power. Section Question How did simmering unrest in Cuba lead to rebellion? Why did Americans get war fever? What happened in the course of the Spanish-American War? Why was annexing the Philippines controversial? The Spanish-American War

Simmering Unrest in Cuba Cubans launched a series of revolts against Spain beginning in 1868, which Spain reacted to by exiling revolutionary leaders. José Marti moved to New York City in 1878, continuing to agitate for Cuban independence through newspaper articles and poetry. Marti returned to Cuba to participate in a revolt in February 1895 but was killed, becoming a hero instantly. Spanish General Valeriano Weyler used ruthless tactics to suppress the revolt. Americans who read about the revolt in Cuba were shocked by General Weyler's mistreatment of civilians

Americans Get War Fever Newspapers reported the uprising with dramatic headlines and articles. A letter written by the Spanish minister to the U.S., Enrique Dupuy de Loome, which ridiculed President McKinley, was published by the New York Journal. The battleship USS Maine blew up in Havana harbor, killing 260 American sailors. The event that triggered a U.S. Declaration of war on Spain in 1898 was the destruction of the USS Maine.

The Course of the War The Philippines Future President Theodore Roosevelt sent Commodore George Dewey orders to prepare for war against Spain. When the Spanish-American War broke out, Commodore George Dewey's fleet rushed to the Philippines Steel- and iron-hulled U.S. ships helped to defeat the Spaniards. Filipino rebels, led by Emilio Aguinaldo, had already been fighting Spain. Surrounded by Dewey (at sea) and Aguinaldo (on land), Spanish forces surrendered. Cuba U.S. War Department was unprepared for war in Cuba. American strategy was to control the port city of Santiago. A Calvary regiment organized by Teddy Roosevelt called the Rough Riders helped gain control of the city at the Battle of San Juan Hill. The U.S. Navy sank the entire Spanish fleet off the coast of Cuba. Spanish Forces in the Philippines were overcome by the Filipino rebel army and the U.S. fleet

U.S. victory over Spain elevated the American position in the world. Spain gave up all claims to Cuba. The United States gained territory in Puerto Rico and Guam. Spain turned over the Philippines for $20 million. Territorial gains strengthened the military and economic position of the United States.

Annexing the Philippines After the Spanish-American War, Controversy arose over whether the United States should annex the Philippines. For Annexation Believed the United States had a duty to spread its values overseas. Philippines had economic and strategic value that should not fall into the hands of other countries. Against Annexation Believed annexation would violate the ideal of self- government Did not want oppression to occur; The United States should not export racism and violence Some Americans believed annexation would increase immigration to the United States.

The Philippines The U.S. Senate narrowly approved annexation of the Philippines in February Fighting broke out in the Philippines. Filipino independence fighters battled U.S. soldiers for three years. Filipino voters did have a voice in government. They were able to elect members to the lower house of their legislature. They could elect members of both houses in On July 4, 1946, the United States finally granted full independence to the Philippines.
