It is consider that both the sinking if the USS Maine and The Lusitania were factors in US entering two different wars (the war between US and Spain and the First World War).

The USS Maine was sunk in 1898 in Cuba. The battleship was near the  Cuban coast while there was a conflict between Spain and Cuban nationalists  fighters. It is believed that a mine was the cause of the explosion of the USS Maine resulting in the death of hundreds of men on board. There was already support in the US for the Cuban nationalist cause and the USS Maine incident galvanized the public opinion against Spain.

The Lusitania was sunk by a German submarine in 1915 near Ireland. The Lusitania was a civilian ship (although it was also carrying military supplies to England) and its sinking had a profound impact on public opinion. It helped the US goverment obtain popular support to declare war on Germany.

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

A. The Spanish Civil War diverted European powers’ attention from Hitler’s expansionist desires in Western Europe.

Explanation:

The Spanish Civil War or Spanish War, also called by the Spaniards as Civil War par excellence, was a warlike conflict -which would later also affect an economic crisis- that was unleashed in Spain after the partial failure of the coup d'état in Spain. July 17 and 18, 1936 carried out by a part of the Army against the Government of the Second Republic. After the blockade of the Strait and the subsequent airlift that thanks to the rapid collaboration of Nazi Germany and fascist Italy, moved the rebel troops to mainland Spain in the last weeks of July, 8 9 began a civil war that would conclude on April 1, 1939 with the last part of war signed by Francisco Franco, declaring his victory and establishing a dictatorship that would last until his death on November 20, 1975. The war had many facets, as it included class struggle, war of religion, confrontation of opposing nationalisms, struggle between military dictatorship and republican democracy, between revolution and counterrevolution, between fascism and communism.
