What was true about the sinking of the USS Maine?
kykrilka [37]

Option B, Spain arrested several Cubans it was believed to have caused the blast was true about the sinking of the USS Maine.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Originally, the ship's disappearance, the USS Maine, prompted Spain to consider it blown up in a bay, near Havana. Yellow journalism was a trend that encouraged newspapers to sympathize with or encourage the cause of the Spanish revolution.

Nevertheless, the truth was that the engine of the ship was not functioning properly. This was discussed years after the fire in 1898.

The burning of the ship actually caused some people to want to have the USA to declare war on Spain as they killed the Americans on ship.  Nonetheless, Spain didn't actually destroy the ship because of the incorrect information. The USA used the blast to wage war on Spain, and the Spanish-American War was won in 1898. It was the blast.
