Explanation:
During the French Revolution, countries like Spain, Portugal and France achieved their independence from the European monarchies that held power over them.The French revolution took place between the years 1789 to
1799. It was a time of great turmoil as far as political and social mayhem in
France was concerned. This was the revolution that helped in overthrowing the
monarchy and the beginning of the republic. This period ultimately culminated
under the dictatorship of Napoleon the great. He brought in many liberal ideas
that the people accepted.
In General Wheelers own words, "this terrible catastrophe [sinking of the Maine] though not the cause of the outbreak of hostilities, certainly hastened the action of Congress in its declaration of war against Spain." According to Wheeler the Spains actions in Cuba were already leading to war between Spain and the US. The sinking of the Maine was the final straw that decided the congress to vote for war. But war would have come without the sinking of the Maine.
