The conflict in the Pacific was one-sided. At the declaration of war, Commodore Dewey, commander of America's Asiatic Squadron based in Hong Kong was ordered to race his six ships to the Philippines. He arrived at Manila Bay on May 1 and found the obsolete Spanish fleet anchored in the bay. It was a one-sided battle.
The Battle of Santiago was one of the most important battles in the Spanish American War. It marked the defeat of the Spanish fleet in Cuba. The Spanish fleet was led by Admiral Cervera.
