Answer:

The Spanish-American War of 1898.

Explanation:

The Spanish-American War, 1898 began between The United States and Spain as a result of numerous factors. One of the most immediate reasons was America's support for the countries of the Philippines and Cuba against their colonizers- Spain. Another reason was the explosion of the USS Maine at Havana Harbor.

At first, the explosion led to the USS Maine led to the US getting involved in the war of Cuba's independence. And eventually, the US acquired the Pacific possessions of Spain, which further led America to be involved in the Philippine Revolution. What began as a simple intervention in a war between two nations led to the US trying to strip Spain of all its overseas possessions. The <u>war ended with a peace treaty signed in Paris</u> that gave <u>independence to Cuba, the United States was given Puerto Rico and Guam and also allows the United States to buy the Philippines from Spain</u>.
