In contrast with World War I, which occurred 20 years later, the Spanish-American War represented the end of an era of warfare. World War I claimed more than 37 million dead and wounded and resolved very little in terms of the hostilities that flamed throughout Europe. The Spanish-American War, on the other hand, claimed about 100,000 fatalities, with half of those resulting from diseases that the Spanish military contracted in Cuba and the Philippines. The shock with which President Woodrow Wilson learned about the horrors of World War I led him to urge the creation of a League of Nations to broker peace between hostile countries, while the after effects of the Spanish-American War induced President Theodore Roosevelt's determination to "talk softly and carry a big stick." The gravity of warfare was not part of American considerations after defeating Spain.

Which of the following would support imperialism Media - capitalists - military personnel - or all above
Shtirlitz [24]
The people who would most likely support imperialism here would be capitalists and the media. Capitalists because they can produce much higher amounts of goods for a much lower price - exploiting the local population, and the media because they have stories to talk about which sell :)
