do you agree or disagree with the decision to war Spanish American war?

Answer 1

Disagree. History always said that the reason the U.S went to war was because of the Maine disaster. It was never proven that spain was responsible but yet Mckinley used it as an excuse to declare war on Spain. Thwar lasted only 3 months & as a result the U.S got Cuba Puerto Rico & The Phillipines. as well as Guam & Wake Island

Answer 2

Not just the Maine disaster but also Spain pouring 200,000 troops into Cuba and attempting to organize a league of European power to prevent the U.S. from interfering with their aspirations for the waning Spanish Empire setting up shop just 60 miles from our Florida coast. Though these Spanish troops were ill-equipped and poorly managed, they still pricked the side of the Americans who wanted them out of the American continent in order for the U.S. to establish its sphere of influence.

Even though it was a merciless romp, a lot of good came of it. The U.S. acquired several countries with people of different cultures and languages, namely Puerto Rico and the Philapines. This opened the way for Puerto Rico and the Phillipines to acquire American aid, education, training, and know-how. Plus, it readied the American military forces for the campaign to come just 19 years later.

Answer 3

No, it was deliberately set up and honestly it reminds me of the modern day war in Iraq.

People just wanted a war really bad and Spain was such an easy target.

Answer 4

No, it grew to become into incorrect. that's an particularly distant third at the back of the scientific care of Africans and Natives, even though that's between the numerous black marks on our united states of america's historic past. That having been mentioned, I comprehend the call. i don't approve or consider it, yet there grew to become right into a conflict, and decrease than the circumstances, the U. S. reacted to the opportunity of jap spies residing in the U. S. better than Japan or Germany taken care of people of their borders that they did not have faith. yet clearing that very low hurdle isn't the customary of excellence I carry my united states of america to. I call for greater from us.

Answer 5

Yes I do agree with the Spainish American war!!

Answer 6

The U.S. used the excuse/reason of the destruction of the U.S.S. Maine to go to war with Spain. The U.S. wanted more territory.
Spain was in no position to fight fairly and squarely with the U.S.
The U.S. was trying to make an 'empire' much like England's.
