The Spanish/American War: United States Interest
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length. While the Spanish-American War may have destroyed Spain's dominion over the countries it lost to the United States, it also created intense patriotic and interventionist passion for every person involved, no matter which side they supported. Still and all, the mystery surrounding who actually downed the U.S.S. Maine remains to this day, and the truth will most likely never be learned. One thing is clear: while Spain took a political beating on account of the Spanish/American War, the United States did just the opposite. The writer discusses how the United
States entered the Spanish/American war in defense of its own economic interests, as well as to further its own global status and prestige. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
