Question

Why were the first shots of the Spanish-American War fired in the Philippines rather than in Cuba? (2 points)

Answer 1

There seems to be a whole history behind this that you were provided a lesson on.
In the future, I’d recommend studying those.

But as for advice for this question, I’d begin with knowing how the Spanish-American war even took root.
Do you remember from your studies who took part in it? Which sides?
