In this the 100th anniversary of the Spanish-American War, the History and Museums Div…ision decided to take another look at this so-called "Splendid Little War" which had such large implications, not only for the nation at large, but also for the Marine Corps. Rather than another history, the Division decided to make available in one volume some of the rich historical literature about the Marine participation in the war. This anthology, like almost all of the works published by the History and Museums Division, is the result of a team effort. The Spanish-American War was an armed conflict between Spain and the United States in 1898. Hostilities began in the aftermath of the internal explosion of USS Maine in Havana harbor in Cuba, leading to U.S. intervention in the Cuban War of Independence. The war led to emergence of U.S. predominance in the Caribbean region, and resulted in U.S. acquisition of Spain's Pacific possessions. That led to U.S. involvement in the Philippine Revolution and ultimately in the Philippine-American War. McKinley signed a joint Congressional resolution demanding Spanish withdrawal and authorizing the President to use military force to help Cuba gain independence on April 20, 1898.[19] In response, Spain severed diplomatic relations with the United States on April 21. On the same day, the U.S. Navy began a blockade of Cuba.[20] Both sides declared war; neither had allies. The ten-week war was fought in both the Caribbean and the Pacific. The result was the 1898 Treaty of Paris, negotiated on terms favorable to the U.S. which allowed it temporary control of Cuba and ceded ownership of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippine islands.
