In the 1890s, Cuba wanted to get their freedom from Spain.  People like Jose Marti petitioned Americans to side with the Cubans and the poor treatment they were receiving from Spain.  Also, there was a lot of support in the newspapers called "yellow journalism" where American people were sympathizing with the cause to go against Spain in war.  This especially was true with a man nicknamed "The Butcher", Valeriano Weyler, who was a military leader from Spain placed in Cuba to put people in concentration camps.  

As a result, America felt a strong sense of patriotism and business reasons to go to war with Spain.  After the <em>USS Maine</em> exploded, the United States declared war on Spain.  

A similar situation happened in the Philippines, where Spain had a high influence and America did want to free the Philippines from Spain, but then also had their own agenda to take over the Philippines, as it was in a strategic location in the Pacific for trade.

The Spanish-American War was a conflict that lasted ten weeks and was fought in the Caribbean and the Pacific, as part of the Cuban and the Philippine Wars of Independence.

The US had been backing Cuban revolts against Spain for a few years, and anti-Spanish propaganda in the US agitated public opinion against Spain.

The trigger for the conflict was the mysterious sinking of the <em>USS Maine</em> in Havana Harbor. Political pressures from the Democratic party ended up pushing the Republican president William McKinley into a war.

The US Naval power proved decisive, and despite a good performance by Spanish troops, American, Cuban and Philippine forces obtained the surrender of Santiago de Cuba and Manila. The result was the 1898 Treaty of Paris, very favourable to the US.

The treaty gave Americans temporary control of Cuba and ownership of Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippine Islands.  More importantly, it had a huge impact on the national psyche of the Americans. It gave rise to a new debate about the wisdom of expansionism as it gave them possession of several islands spanning the globe.

How did the repartimiento system affect American Indians? Check all of the boxes that apply. It forced them to work. It let them
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

It let them live in freedom

It gave them their own property

Explanation:

The repartimiento system was a system that came after the initially encomienda system. The Native American population were rapidly declining, and the plan of the colonists to use them as labor force was falling apart. Since they did not see any usage from labor point of view, and plus because of the intensive mixing between the populations, the Native Americans were freed, so they were not obligated to work. If they wanted to work, than they had the same rights as the colonists, and they were supposed to get wage for their work. Also, one of the things gained by the native populations was that now they had the right to have their own land, which in turn help them in their economic stability and opportunities in life.

the growth and evolution of the world became possible due to factors of colonialism and imperialism? the answer is needed.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

The growth and evolution of the world took place, in large part, due to colonization and imperialism deployed between the 1400s and 1900s by the European nations. This was so because these nations, through their expansion and domination of territories throughout the planet, transmitted certain technologies, ideologies and knowledge that allowed the development of new nations and populations in these colonial territories.

Thus, for example, British colonization allowed the emergence of economically and politically powerful nations such as Australia, Canada or the United States, nations that inherited the development established by Great Britain and that consolidated in the modern world as benchmarks of civic well-being and economic stability.

The Spanish invasion of Chile and the majority of Latin America changed its history. The Spanish rule exploited the country during the mercantilist era. Independence came in 1844 and with it, economic and political stability.

Chile started to sell copper and nitrate, and copper is still the foundation of the Chilean economy. The beginning of the 20th century came with the economic crisis for Chile, the demand for mineral nitrates fell. The Great Depression did not help the country either.

Chilean economy got better with WWII with a higher demand for copper.
