The Spanish-American War. by David Trask. Between 1895 and 1898 Cuba and the Philippine Islands revolted against Spain. The Cubans gained independence, but the Filipinos did not. In both instances the intervention of the United States was the culminating event.
The United States blamed Spanish agents for the attack and Congress authorized, over McKinley's objections, a blockade of Cuba. This precipitated a declaration of war by Spain on April 23, 1898. Spanish forces in the Caribbean and Pacific were quickly overwhelmed in a ten week war and in the subsequent negotiations; the United States acquired its first overseas colonies: Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines.
