SPANISH AMERICAN WAR, 1898
 The Spanish–American War was an
armed military conflict between Spain and
the United States that took place between
April and August 1898, over the issues of
the liberation of Cuba. The war began after
American demands for the resolution of the
Cuban fight for independence were rejected
by Spain. Strong expansionist sentiment in
the United States motivated the
government to develop a plan for
annexation of Spain's remaining overseas
territories including the Philippines, Puerto
Rico, and Guam.
SPANISH AMERICAN WAR, 1989
 The revolution in Havana prompted the United States
to send in the warship USS Maine to indicate high
national interest. Tension among the American people
was raised because of the explosion of the USS Maine,
and the yellow journalist newspapers that accused the
Spanish of oppression in their colonies, agitating
American public opinion. The war ended after victories
for the United States in the Philippine Islands and
Cuba.
 On December 10, 1898, the signing of the Treaty of
Paris gave the United States control of Cuba, the
Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam.

aboard the USS Olympia, in a matter

squadron under Admiral Patricio

THE PHILIPPINE – AMERICAN WAR
 The Philippine–American War, 18991902, was an armed military conflict
between the Philippines and the United
States, which arose from the struggle of
the insurgent First Philippine Republic
against United States annexation of the
islands. The war was a continuation of the
Philippine struggle for independence,
following the Philippine Revolution, led by
Emilio Aguinaldo and the Spanish-American
War.
