Answer:

Explanation below.

Explanation:

PROS:

  • Reasonable chance of success - Only about 3,000 US soldiers died during the war, which is a low number(spanamwar). Total size of US army was about 248,000 soldiers and volunteers. Spanish casualties were around 60,000.
  • Waged by a legitimate authority - one of the few times war was actually declared using the correct process.

 

CONS:

  • America annexed Hawaii.

  • The US army was not ready to fight in the war. They were understaffed and lacked the skill required to fight.

What country was the LAST to enter World War
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

United States.

Explanation:

The United States was reluctant to join the war effort- congress specifically. Britain was left alone to fight Germany for most of the war. France was occupied by Nazis- so the most they could do was fight sporadic guerilla battles. The US finally joined the war after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
