The people that were for annexing the islands argued that there were business interests in thoughts of new markets and fields of investments, the United States wanted to become an empire and so they wanted to expand more. USA, especially, didn’t want to lose these islands to Japan or Germany.But some people did argue against annexing the islands. One of the biggest things that stood out was that the islands were 6,000 miles away from the Pacific Coast. Another reason that people argued against this was that some senators thought that annexation was a violation of American tradition and this lead other people to follow them. Since the senators had power.…

    United States and the Spanish American War

    Naturally Spain was not a fan of United States actions. Spain declared war on the United States on April 24, 1898. United States responded by declaring war the next day. On May 1, 1898, United States forces destroyed an anchored Spanish fleet in a leisurely morning in the Philippians engagement that cost only seven American seamen wounded. It was safe to say Manila itself was occupied by U.S. troops by August. There was an elusive Spanish Caribbean fleet located in Santiago harbor in Cuba by U.S. reconnaissance. A U.S. landed on the east coast of Santiago and slowly advanced to attack this fleet. The Spanish fleet tried to retreat westward was under heavy fire and ultimately surrender to the U.S. virtually ending the war. By the Treaty of Paris (signed Dec. 10, 1898), Spain renounced all claim to Cuba, ceded Guam and Puerto Rico to the United States, and transferred sovereignty over the Philippines to the United States for $20,000,000.…

The United States first began its interest in purchasing Cuba before the start of the war. Because of this, the Americans bought some sugar lands in Cuba and invested in other products for trade. Conflict grew between Spain and the United States when General Valeriano Weyler began the policy of Reconcentration in Cuba. This placed the entire country of Cuba under the martial law in February 1896. The United States was overly upset by this and demanded that Spain stop their actions to end the Cuban Crisis. If Spain did not did not agree, the United States stated that they would step in and war would begin. Events took a fast course after the explosion of the U.S.S. Main on February 15th.…
