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>.

How does the senator compare the struggle for women’s suffrage to the fight for American independence
mars1129 [50]

In year 1910 Senator Robert Owen passionately fought for the right of women to vote. In his struggle, he famously compared it to the fight for American Independence.

In his opinion, women made up half of all humanity and were equally involved in the development of a modern society, either by being a home marker or even working on the fields.

However, she received little recognition and did not fare well financially. According to him, the American Independence doctrine was ''all governments derive their just powers from the consent of  the governed'' but how can the United States be just, when it denies powers to half of all people living in the country.

According to him, for America to be just and a true democracy, it was evident that women should have an equal vote.

- Martin Luther King Jr.  JFK was a supporter of civil rights and in this regard, he had a coincidence with MLK´s philosophy and goals. Dr. King supported Kennedy in his 1960 campaign. JFK´s brother Robert made calls to release Dr. King after his arrest during protests.

The Cuban revolutionary leader gave revolution a radical turn, became an ally of the Soviet Union and an open US enemy. He allowed the USSR to install nuclear missiles in Cuba, but Kennedy got the missiles withdrawn from the island in 1962 following the October 1962 crisis.

- Nikita Khrushchev was the Soviet top leader that was involved in the October Missile Crisis in 1962 in Cuba. He faced the US warning, threat and naval blockade, but in the end he decided to de-escalate and withdrew the nuclear missiles from Cuba.
