The battles of this war took place in the Caribbean and the Pacific, as Spain held territories in these areas. One of the major battles that took place in the Caribbean was the Battle of Santiago de Cuba in which the United States defeated Spanish forces, sealing American victory in the Spanish–American War and leading to Cuban independence from Spanish rule.
