Its tactics is eye-catching headlines or pitches to increase sales or viewers. The American yellow press run by press barons William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer covered the Cuban war of independence , focusing on the abuses and atrocities of Spanish troops against Cuban civilians and the appaling living conditions of the latter, often sent to camps in order to isolate them from the rebels. Those stories moved the American public, created sympathy toward the rebels and influenced the public mood in ways favorable to an American intervention in the Spanish-American War of 1898.

Explain the historical circumstances that led to the Crusades Raymond d’Aguiliers

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:Raymond of Aguilers was a participant in and chronicler of the First Crusade (1096–1099). During the campaign he became the chaplain of Count Raymond IV of Toulouse, the leader of the Provençal army of crusaders. His chronicle, entitled Historia Francorum qui ceperunt Iherusalem, which he co-wrote with Pons of Balazun, ends with the events immediately following the capture of Jerusalem in 1099.

Everything we know about Raymond is derived from the Historia, the idea for which he credits to Pons. He must have been the main author and finisher, however, since Pons died before the capture of Jerusalem. The Historia was probably written as the crusade progressed and the preface added later. It was completed before the death of Count Raymond in 1105.
