If you want to discover the captivating history of the Spanish-American War, then keep reading... The Spanish-American War really only lasted about ten weeks (the buildup and decision to go to war took longer than the war itself), but a peace treaty was not signed until December of 1898. This was an event that was the tipping point for the end of the Spanish Empire and the rise of the US as a formidable player on the world stage. Not all Americans were happy with the change, with famous Americans like Mark Twain speaking out about the US occupation of the lands that it was meant to save. This breach was seen as being as antithetical to American ideals as bowing to the English crown would have been seen during the American Revolution. Still, the isolationist's view of the country was no longer popular, and more Americans wished to play a larger part in the world. The ideology of the country was not entirely different than it had been, but it was moving more toward the superpower it eventually became by the end of World War II. America had finally taken strides to match the might and power of the other Western countries, and it was increasingly more difficult to ignore the events around the world once they had lands to protect so far from the mainland. In The Spanish-American War: A Captivating Guide to the Armed Conflict Between the United States of America and Spain That Took Place after the U.S. Intervened in the Cuban War of Independence, you will discover topics such as Spain's Waning Influence America - A Country Itching to Break out of Isolationism Building Tensions America's Sensationalized Sympathy with Cuba Remember the Maine! - An Excuse for War A Brief War with Huge Implications Rough Riders - The Beginning of the Legend of Theodore Roosevelt How the Smoked Yankees Ensured Roosevelt's Success The Price of Peace The Anti-Imperialist League The Foraker Act of 1900 and New Territories The Tense Relationship between Cuba and the US Half-Way around the World - The Philippine-American Relationship A Changed World And much, much more!
