Not all Americans were happy with the change with famous Americans like Mark Twain speaking out about the US occupation of the lands that it was meant to save.

America had finally taken strides to match the might and power of the other Western countries and it was increasingly more difficult to ignore the events around the world once they had lands to protect so far from the mainland.In The Spanish-American War: A Captivating Guide to the Armed Conflict Between the United States of America and Spain That Took Place after the U.S. Intervened in the Cuban War of Independence you will discover topics such asSpains Waning InfluenceAmerica - A Country Itching to Break out of IsolationismBuilding TensionsAmericas Sensationalized Sympathy with CubaRemember the Maine! - An Excuse for WarA Brief War with Huge ImplicationsRough Riders - The Beginning of the Legend of Theodore RooseveltHow the Smoked Yankees Ensured Roosevelts SuccessThe Price of PeaceThe Anti-Imperialist LeagueThe Foraker Act of 1900 and New TerritoriesThe Tense Relationship between Cuba and the USHalf-Way around the World - The Philippine-American RelationshipA Changed WorldAnd much much more!So if you want to learn more about the Spanish-American War scroll up and click the add to cart button!
