Answer:

The brief war fought against the Spanish Navy and land forces in 1898 established the United States as a global, major navy and military power.

The war was fought in Cuba - the Caribbean - and in the Pacific. If a century before American governments were not willing to join wars among European powers and pursued a cautious diplomacy, full industrialization, territorial expansion and a fantastic growth of economic might made the United States a player in world affairs to be reckoned with a century later. That´s why the Spanish-American war is a turning point in American history: the US would play a large role in world affairs from that moment on.

Answer:

The answer is: They formed the Women's Peace Party

Explanation:

The American women demonstrated their opposition to World War I by forming the Women's Peace Party (WPP). This organization was established by Jane Addams, an American social worker and activist.

The members of this organization believed that "women were the mother half of humanity" and thus, they needed to do something to stop the war. They called for arm control and its limitation, managing European conflict and striving to remove the causes of war (particularly, economic).

Thus, this explains the answer.
