Question

What ended the “splendid little war?” What were the terms of this agreement?

Answer 1

The Spanish American War led to the liberation of Cuba, a continued American presence in the Philippine Islands, American expansion to Guam and Puerto Rico, and the construction of the Panama Canal. It was a war fought largely by citizen soldiers from the National Guard and led to the reorganization of our reserves under the wingspan Act of 1903. On the fields of combat, lifetime friendships were formed. Upon their triumphal return, American soldiers were hailed as heroes in their hometowns.

Answer 2

TERMS...



One might say that the first attack of the Spanish-American War was not made with bullets, but with words. Back in Washington, D.C. the Spanish Minister Enrique de Lome wrote a letter to a Spanish editor who was traveling in the United States. The communication was stolen by a Cuban official in the Havana Post office and passed on to the New York Journal, which printed it on February 9th. In that letter the Spanish Minister expressed his adverse personal reaction to the U.S. President's message to Congress in December of the previous year. The undiplomatic diplomat stated in his letter that President McKinley was "weak and a bidder for admiration of the crowd...(that he was) a would-be politician who tries to leave a door open behind himself while keeping on good terms with the jingoes of his party."
