21 apr 1898 anni - The Spanish American War

Descrizione:

The war started due to the Cuban struggle for independence from Spain. This affected the U.S because it caused problems for trade between Cuba and the U.S. The U.S would not surrender unless Cuba gained full independence no matter how many times Spain tried to make amendments. Once we had won Spain pledged to surrender all authority they had over Cuba, Puerto Rico, and another island over to the U.S.
