Answer:

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.

The Cuban cause gained increasing support in the United States, leading President Grover Cleveland to press for a settlement, but instead Spain sent General Valeriano Weyler to pacify Cuba. His stern methods, including reconcentration of the civilian population to deny the guerrillas support in the countryside, strengthened U.S. sympathy for the Cubans. President William McKinley then increased pressure on Spain to end the affair, dispatching a new minister to Spain for this purpose. At this juncture an anarchist assassinated Cánovas, and his successor, the leader of the Liberal Party Práxedes Mateo Sagasta, decided to make a grant of autonomy to Cuba and Puerto Rico. The Cuban leadership resisted this measure, convinced that continued armed resistance would lead to independence.

Attitude surveys indicate that over the years white prejudice has:

Kitty [74]

<span>In recent years white prejudice has increased in rural parts of the US, while in more densely-populated urban areas white prejudice has declined. Studies show that simply by moving to a move urban and racially diverse city, white people become less likely to prejudge others based on race. This suggests that racism is perhaps due to lack of exposure to people of other races and is a form of experiential ignorance. The reasons for white prejudice seem to be caused mostly by the spread of misinformation and hate speech, where white supremacist figureheads will blame any number of problems on any race or group that they perceive as "other" or "outsiders". The internet has given these outspoken individuals an international soapbox from which to spout their racist rhetoric, which may have caused an increase in the intensity of believe seen among some groups of white prejudiced Americans. However, the internet has also given a platform for many more rational thinkers who preach tolerance, acceptance, and the value of diversity in society. This is considered mainstream academic thought in the US today, which was not the case just 50 years ago. In that regard, white prejudice has decreased as a function of the overall population of the US. Similar trends have been observed in other countries which were previously predominantly white and have recently seen a much larger spike in racial and ethnic diversity. For example, in Germany, white prejudice has starkly decreased over the past 100 years. Less than a century ago, a large number of Germans were participating in race-based genocide on their own soil. Today, Germany has a culture of acceptance and semi-open borders. In 2016, Germany's leader Angela Merkel opened Germany's borders to thousands of refugees escaping Syria. The majority of these refugees were non-white, and were accepted by the German people. This scenario would not have been possible in German culture 50 years ago.</span>
