Geography affects every aspect of history as it is responsible for determining the winners of wars, the prosperity of people and the formation of cultures. To quote the Bradley Commission on History in Schools, "...geography is by nature the constant companion of historical studies; it is hardly possible to grasp the one without the other." Because the events of history take place on the stage of the world, they are inevitably influenced and even determined by geography.
Rivers are an easy example of how geography can impact history. Most of the earliest human civilizations developed along large rivers because of the nutrients that were deposited in the surrounding soil during annual floods. Without the specific geography of India, Mesopotamia, China and Egypt, ancient farmers would have quickly used all the nutrients in the soil in these places, and that would have meant that the farmers would have had to keep moving to grow crops. That would have meant that they never would have settled down long enough to develop the advanced tools and societal structures associated with civilization. With rivers, however, these early people had an easy way of transporting goods and a natural defense against invaders in addition to a vital source of food.
The influence doesn't end there, however. Rivers allowed the Vikings to raid far into inland Europe, and the Mississippi River made it far easier for Europeans to explore North America. Moreover, other geographic features, such as mountains and plains, have had an equally strong impact on history, like when 300 Spartans used the mountain pass at Thermopylae to hold off thousands of Persian soldiers

The answer it TRUE.
The Spanish-American War was war fought between the United States and Spain in 1898 that put an end to Spanish colonial rule in the American Continent and resulted in American acquisition of territories in the western Pacific and Latin America. The battles of this war took place in the Caribbean and the Pacific, as Spain held territories in these areas. One of the major battles that took place in the Caribbean was the Battle of Santiago de Cuba in which the United States defeated Spanish forces, sealing American victory in the Spanish–American War and leading to Cuban independence from Spanish rule. One of the battles that took place in the Pacific was the battle in Manila Bay in the Philippines, which constituted one of the major battles of the Spanish-American War and the end of the Spanish rule in the Philippines.
