  conflict between Spain and the United States that
  took place between April and August 1898, over
  the issues of the liberation of Cuba. The war
  began after American demands for the resolution
  of the Cuban fight for independence were rejected
  by Spain. Strong expansionist sentiment in the
  United States motivated the government to develop
  a plan for annexation of Spain's remaining
  overseas territories including the Philippines,
  Puerto Rico, and Guam.

SPANISH AMERICAN WAR, 1989

• The revolution in Havana prompted the United
  States to send in the warship USS Maine to
  indicate high national interest. Tension among
  the American people was raised because of the
  explosion of the USS Maine, and the yellow
  journalist newspapers that accused the Spanish of
  oppression in their colonies, agitating American
  public opinion. The war ended after victories for
  the United States in the Philippine Islands and
  Cuba.
• On December 10, 1898, the signing of the Treaty
  of Paris gave the United States control of Cuba,
  the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam.
