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.

U.S. HISTORY!!!!

The correct option is option C. They supported fascist leaders who promised relief from economic hardships. The fascism is a form of authoritarism, is antidemocratical or against democracy and dictatorial, that means only one person, the dictator, has the power to do whatever they want. In the fascist dictatorship the individual citizen has no guaranteed rights, the promises of relief of economic hardship had no guarantee. Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler were fascist leaders.
