Question

Which best explains why many americans criticized the spanish-american war?

Answer 1

Many Americans criticized the Spanish-American war because they thought the United States should remain neutral in world affairs.

The Spanish–American War constituted an armed conflict between Spain and the United States in 1898 which began after the explosion of USS Maine in Havana harbor in Cuba, giving way to the U.S. involvement in the Cuban War of Independence. The war resulted in the emergence of U.S. predominance in the Caribbean region,and also led to U.S. acquisition of Spain's Pacific possessions.

Answer 2

Where are the choices that I have to choose from? Anyway, I'll just provide a detailed answer to your question about the Americans' reaction on the Spanish-American War.

The United States was simply unprepared for war. What Americans had in enthusiastic spirit, they lacked in military strength. The navy, although improved, was simply a shadow of what it would become by World War I. The United States Army was understaffed, underequipped, and undertrained.
