dec 10, 1898 - Spanish American war ended by treaty of Paris

Description:

The Treaty of Paris marked the end of the Spanish Empire (apart from some small holdings in North Africa). It marked the beginning of the age of the United States as a world power. Many supporters of the war opposed the treaty, and it became one of the major issues in the election of 1900 when it was opposed by Democrat William Jennings Bryan because he opposed imperialism. Republican President William McKinley upheld the treaty and was easily reelected. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Paris_(1898)
