Spanish- American War
xeze [42]

Answer:

Spainsh AMerican WAR

Explanation:

The Spanish-American War was an 1898 conflict between the United States and Spain that ended Spanish colonial rule in the Americas and resulted in U.S. acquisition of territories in the western Pacific and Latin America.

Causes: Remember the Maine!

The war originated in the Cuban struggle for independence from Spain, which began in February 1895.

Spain’s brutally repressive measures to halt the rebellion were graphically portrayed for the U.S. public by several sensational newspapers engaging in yellow journalism, and American sympathy for the Cuban rebels rose.

Did you know? Yellow journalism was the original fake news. The term was coined in the early 18 century to indicate journalism that relies on eye-catching headlines, exaggeration and sensationalism to increase sales.

The growing popular demand for U.S. intervention became an insistent chorus after the still-unexplained sinking in Havana harbor of the American battleship USS Maine, which had been sent to protect U.S. citizens and property after anti-Spanish rioting in Havana.

War Is Declared

Spain announced an armistice on April 9 and speeded up its new program to grant Cuba limited powers of self-government.

But the U.S. Congress soon afterward issued resolutions that declared Cuba’s right to independence, demanded the withdrawal of Spain’s armed forces from the island, and authorized the use of force by President William McKinley to secure that withdrawal while renouncing any U.S. design for annexing Cuba.

Spain declared war on the United States on April 24, followed by a U.S. declaration of war on the 25th, which was made retroactive to April 21.

Spanish-American War Begins

The ensuing war was pathetically one-sided, since Spain had readied neither its army nor its navy for a distant war with the formidable power of the United States.

In the early morning hours of May 1, 1898, Commodore George Dewey led a U.S. naval squadron into Manila Bay in the Philippines. He destroyed the anchored Spanish fleet in two hours before pausing the Battle of Manila Bay to order his crew a second breakfast. In total, fewer than 10 American seamen were lost, while Spanish losses were estimated at over 370. Manila itself was occupied by U.S. troops by August.

The elusive Spanish Caribbean fleet under Adm. Pascual Cervera was located in Santiago harbor in Cuba by U.S. reconnaissance. An army of regular troops and volunteers under Gen. William Shafter (including then-secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt and his 1st Volunteer Cavalry, the “Rough Riders”) landed on the coast east of Santiago and slowly advanced on the city in an effort to force Cervera’s fleet out of the harbor.

Cervera led his squadron out of Santiago on July 3 and tried to escape westward along the coast. In the ensuing battle all of his ships came under heavy fire from U.S. guns and were beached in a burning or sinking condition.

Santiago surrendered to Shafter on July 17, thus effectively ending the brief but momentous war.

Treaty of Paris

The Treaty of Paris ending the Spanish-American War was signed on December 10, 1898. In it, Spain renounced all claim to Cuba, ceded Guam and Puerto Rico to the United States and transferred sovereignty over the Philippines to the United States for $20 million.

Philippine insurgents who had fought against Spanish rule soon turned their guns against their new occupiers. The Philippine-American War began in February of 1899 and lasted until 1902. Ten times more U.S. troops died suppressing revolts in the Philippines than in defeating Spain.

Impact of the Spanish-American War

The Spanish-American War was an important turning point in the history of both antagonists. Spain’s defeat decisively turned the nation’s attention away from its overseas colonial adventures and inward upon its domestic needs, a process that led to both a cultural and a literary renaissance and two decades of much-needed economic development in Spain.

The victorious United States, on the other hand, emerged from the war a world power with far-flung overseas possessions and a new stake in international politics that would soon lead it to play a determining role in the affairs of Europe and the rest of the globe.

How did European contact impact indigenous peoples? (Select all that apply.) European goods were traded for native lands. Native
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The best choices from the options, to be able to answer the question: How did European contact impact indigenous peoples, would be:

B: Native tribes became ill from diseases that were not present until the arrival of Europeans. This is correct as it was not until Europeans arrived in America that such diseases as smallpox, or chickenpox, made an appearance, decimating thousands of Native Americans all over the Americas. It is now known that the arrival of diseases brought by the European settlers was one of the biggest impacts that Europe had on America.

C: Early European settlers attempted to convert Native tribes to their religion. This is especially true for all those tribes who came into contact with the Spanish conquistadores. One of the reasons why the discovery of new lands was supported originally by the Spanish crown, was the desire for the extension of the Gospels. When Columbus found these new lands, and the "savages" in them, a whole movement of Christians, particularly Catholic orders, began to move into the Americas in order to bring the Gospel. Later, with the arrival of the English in America, although at first evangelization was not the main purpose, but rather to find a new place away from religious persecution, it later did become an issue, with Puritans attempting to "civilize" the Indians through religious knowledge. After them, many of the new protestant movements made it their goal to evangelize the savage Native people of the colonies.

None of the other choices is correct, as Europeans traded with Indians for goods, not lands, and since lands were sacred to Indian tribes, they would have never traded them. Also, crops like bananas, coffee, sugar cane and wheat, were brought by the Europeans into the Americas, not taken from the Americas by the Europeans.

Do you think America should be a melting pot? Why or Why not?
VLD [36.1K]
America should be a melting pot because with more and more ethnic entities, a lot of people have learned to be open minded, and have learned to respect and learn about other cultures. It also provides workers to boost the American economy. Illegal immigrants or not.

Viktor [21]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

One difference in the tactics individuals such as Gandhi and Che Guevara (or the groups they represent) adopted to achieve their political goal

The most important difference between Mahatma Gandhi and Ernesto "Che" Guevara was that Gandhi always used his non-violent approach to protest and organize demonstrations to liberate India from the oppressive British rule.

On the other hand, Guevara was a firm believer in the armed revolution to impose Communism. He always opposed the United States' fierce Capitalismin South America and its way to mess in the interests of these Latin American countries to the degree of deposing Presidents to put people that favored its economic interests, as was teh case of the assassination of Chilean President Salvador Allende.
