1 janv. 1898 - Spanish American War

Description:

The U.S. declared war on Spain no to defend itself from an attack but because the U.S. decided that an independent Cuba was in its economic interest. The U.S. defeated Spain and through its peace treaty the U.S. acquired Guam and Puerto Rico and with the subsequent Platt Amendment, Cuba could not sign treaties without U.S. consent and agreed to lease Guantanamo Base to the U.S. navy. Therefore, this victory established the U.S. foreign policy of intervention overseas in order to protect U.S. interests and property rights and turned the U.S. into a major imperial power.
