The Spanish-American War was a conflict between the United States and Spain that ended Spanish colonial rule in the Americas and resulted in U.S. acquisition of territories in the western Pacific and Latin America. The war originated in the Cuban struggle for independence from Spain, which began in February 1895. Spain declared war on the United States on April 24, 1898, followed by a U.S. declaration of war on the 25th, which was made retroactive to April 21. Spain had readied neither its army nor its navy for a distant war with the formidable power of the United States. George Dewey led a U.S. naval squadron into Manila Bay in the Philippines on May 1, 1898, and destroyed the anchored Spanish fleet in a leisurely morning engagement that cost only seven American seamen wounded. Manila itself was occupied by U.S. troops by August. Spain's General Cervera led his squadron out of Santiago on July 3 and tried to escape westward along the coast. In the ensuing battle all of his ships came under heavy fire from U.S. guns and were beached in a burning or sinking condition. Santiago surrendered to Shafter on July 17, thus effectively ending the war. By the Treaty of Paris (signed Dec. 10, 1898), Spain renounced all claim to Cuba, ceded Guam and Puerto Rico to the United States, and transferred sovereignty over the Philippines to the United States for $20,000,000. I hope this helps!
They were like coworkers, there not allies, but they know each other.
The correct answer is: "muckrackers".
Muckrackers were a generation of journalists who were active during the Progressive Era (between the 1890s and the 1920s), and who denounced for the first time, corrupt and abussive practices performed by companies and also by public officials in public institutions. They became highly influential as they used to publish their articles in popular magazines and newspapers.
It was A. Julius Caesar who claimed the title of "Dictator for Life". He removed all the restrictions that once held rulers in check, thus becoming a true monarch with ease.
