D) the Philippines hope you pass.

Answer 2

Which of the following countries was NOT a sense of the battle during the Spanish- American War?

The correct answer is:
B) Puerto Rico

Between 1895 and 1898 Cuba and the Philippine Islands revolted against Spain. The Cubans gained independence, but the Filipinos did not. In both instances the intervention of the United States was the culminating event.

In 1895 the Cuban patriot and revolutionary, José Martí, resumed the Cuban struggle for freedom that had failed during the Ten Years' War (1868-1878). Cuban juntas provided leadership and funds for the military operations conducted in Cuba. Spain possessed superior numbers of troops, forcing the Cuban generals Máximo Gómez and Antonio Maceo, to wage guerrilla warfare in the hope of exhausting the enemy. Operations began in southeastern Cuba but soon spread westward. The Spanish Conservative Party, led by Antonio Cánovas y Castillo, vowed to suppress the insurrectos, but failed to do so.

In this passage, Puerto Rico was not mentioned, thus Puerto Rico was not a sense of the battle though it was mentioned in the history but didn't really have much sense to the Spanish-American War.
