Document Summary
Hius 188 textbook notes the war of 1898. Preface: 1898 the year that the us became a world power, name spanish-american war excludes cuban participation, understanding of us role in the world shaped by misrepresentations of 1898. Us consul requested presence of us warship: 1/25 maine entered harbor, 1897 spanish army exhausted, diseased, lost the will to fight, and cubans had control of everything but the cities. Chapter 2: intervention and intent: public opinion that cuba cannot be left alone, as the people will not know how to govern themselves, while the cubans felt betrayed by the military occupation of their supposed allies. Some argued that the us entered the war when there was no threat to national security, like was claimed, so basically for no reason at all.
