In a truly free market society where the government does not artificially create monopolies then there will exist natural monopolies which are the result of consumers valuing the product of one service provider over the other. These natural monopolies have no government support to maintain their monopoly status. If their product fails to meet consumer demands then there will exist an opportunity for competition to enter the market. Without government regulations hindering the process the costs of goods can be naturally lowered through competition and natural monopolies.
Hello! The Spanish-American was a war in 1898 between the U.S. and Spain, because back at that time, Spain had territories such as Cuba, the Philippines, and Guam. The U.S. was supporting Cuba, who were fighting for independence from Spain, so the Battleship Maine went over to Cuba to help support them. The United States was not involved at first, but due to the Battleship Maine sinking, it caused war and it lasted for months. It ended with the Treaty of Paris of 1898, when Spain had to give up nearly all of its remaining territory, such as the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
