Unfortunately, you forgot to attach the map. Where is the map?
Without the map, just you know the information. We don't.
However, trying to help you we did some deep research and found one map that highlights places where the United States and the Soviet Union had conflicts and confrontations during the Cold War years.
The places highlighted on the map are the Island of Cuba, North and South Korea, and North and South Vietnam.
So the correct answer indeed is:
A historian could best use this map to study the topic "Cold War confrontations."
During the tense years of the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States competed in the arms race, the space race, and the spread/containment of Communism in different places of the world such as the Island of Cuba Korea Vietnam.
Answer:
The Spanish-American war was an armed conflict between Spain and The United States that occurred in 1898
Explanation:
This conflict originated after the US Navy ship USS Maine was attacked, and American newspapers claimed that the Spanish were responsible. This lead to the US intervention in the Cuban War of Independence, and ended Spanish colonial rule in the Americas, and US acquisition of territories in the western Pacific and Latin America. Even though it was short lasting (10 weeks) and inexpensive, in both resources and human lifes, it marked a turning point for both countries. The US emerged from the war as a world power, with insular possessions in the Caribbean and the Pacific, including Hawaii. It also helped to unite the people of the U.S., helping relieve the tension left after the American Civil War and redefined national identity. It also marked the U.S. entry to international affairs. Since after the conflict, the U.S. intervened in many conflicts around the world and entered many treaties and agreements. It gave way to the building of the Panama Canal, and also marked the growth of the U.S. Navy and Army.
