Take some time to read about the Spanish American War in your textbook or any other resource material. What did you learn? What was interesting? What was the overall outcome? Could war have been avoided? Answer at least 2 questions.
It was interesting because the Americans felt that the Spanish people would take there jobs even though they couldn't speak English. The overall effect was they had to learn English in order to stay in the Us -Kenji
I think war could've been avoided. It could've been avoided because Spain and America could've made a treaty. The overall outcome was that Cuba got to be an independent and the U.S. gained Puerto Rico. -Losha
This was a simple war. The Civil War (In my opinion) was 100x worst. The Americans and the Spanish could've created a treaty, which stated that Spain could have some of Puerto Rico. The outcome was that the U.S. gained Puerto Rico, and Cuba became an independent country. ~Salter ╚═( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)═╝ ╚═(███)═╝ ╚═(███)═╝ .╚═(███)═╝ ..╚═(███)═╝ …╚═(███)═╝ …╚═(███)═╝ ..╚═(███)═╝ .╚═(███)═╝ ╚═(███)═╝ .╚═(███)═╝ ..╚═(███)═╝ …╚═(███)═╝ …╚═(███)═╝ …..╚(███)╝ ……╚(██)╝ ………(█) ……….*
The overall out come was america won Puerto Rico, and a way they could have avoided it was they could have made a treaty that would say Spain got half of Puerto Rico and america got the other half -Asher
The most interesting thing I learned was the fact that John Hay described the conflict as a "splendid little war". I don't think any war should be described as "splendid", seeing as almost all wars result in death/bloodshed. The overall outcome was that the United States won. ~Annabelle C.
The overall outcome was that America had won the war. The war was not that interesting because it was so easy for America to win the war. I learned that if your men are not ready for war you should not go to war. The men from the Spanish army were not ready to fight America yet
something that i found interesting was that john hay said that he thought the war was a "splended little war." the outcome of the war was that America won the war! (; <--that is a winkie face -bella
I learned that the war was fought in 1898, and the reason for the war was that Spain was mad at the U.S. for supporting Cuba's wish to be independent. The outcome was that U.S won the war!!!!
The war was in 1898. The war stared because Spain was mad at the US because the US supported Cuba wanting to be free. The Americans won the war and it was considered as a "simple war". The war could have been avoided with Spain not being mad at Cuba and been nice. -Mia C ;)
I read about the Spanish-American War and I thought that a couple facts were interesting. Before the war even started, the Cubans were forced into slavery and thousands died from starvation, disease, or both. Also after they were forced into slavery, the Cubans were treated horribly by the Spanish which led to the Cubans wanting independence. The war could have been prevented by the Spanish not treating the Cubans more civilized and less of slaves. ~ Lucy Adams
I learned that the Spanish American War was won by the Americans. In one of the attacks, the Hispanics lost all their men, while only one American died. The reason for this was that Spain had been upset at the US for supporting Cuba's independence, it got the best out of them causing war. Their wouldn't be a war if there was some sort of treaty, some way to settle their differences.
The Spanish-American war was fought in 1898 it was a short war. America was trying to help Cuba because they were under Spain's control and Cuba had been fighting for freedom for a long time. After a couple battles the war was over Spain surrender gave Puerto Rico freedom and Cuba and sold Guam for 20$ million. That was the outcome and what happened.
The Spanish - American War was the result of the Cuba Independence. It did not interest me because it was so short. I did like the part where the U.S. gained Puerto Rico.
I learned that the Spanish-American War was fought in 1898 and was a week long. The war was about Cuba not having freedom. This happened because Spain had Cuba under control. After three days, the war ended when Spain surrendered to keep Cuba under control because of all of the people dead. ~Mia Otoski
The war could have easily been avoided if the USS MAINE was not sunken or if the United States did not want to free Cuba from Spain. I also learned that teddy Roosevelt won many battles with his group called the Rough Riders. - Harry
The Spanish-American War was a very short war. The result of the wars was Cuba's Independence. In 1898, the Treaty of Paris was signed. Cuba got their independence but Spain gave up Puerto Rico, and Guam which then became American territories. The Philippines was sold to the U.S with Guam, Cuba, and Puerto Rico for $20 million dollars. Cuba won back their independence. The United States ended up building a Naval Base on Guantánamo Bay.
I learned that one reason the war started was because the Americans thought the Spanish were being mean to Cuba. I found it interesting that at the end of the war, when we ratified the Treaty of Paris, the side that wanted to ratify it won by ONE vote. -Aisling Mahony
The war could have been avoided by the US accepting Spain's compromise. The overall outcome was the Treaty of Paris which gave the US the Philippine islands and ended the war. -KMD
The Spanish-American war was really short. it ended in 1989 and it gave Cuba independence. One way the war could've been avoided is that the U.S could've made a deal with Spain instead. -Sophia S. :{)
The Americans won the war. We could have avoided this war by just call it an accident instead of blaming the Hispanics and calling the Hispanics the enemy.
I learned that the Spanish American War started in The April of 1898 and ended in August of 1898. As a result the United States gained Puerto Rico. I thought it was interesting that the war was so short and the US also gained the Philippines, Cuba, Guam, And Puerto Rico for 20 million dollars.
I have never heard of a 5 month war. April of 1898 to August 0f 1898. I learned that we were not well prepared at all and a lot of our food spoiled along the way. The Americans overcame the trouble and tired out the spanish. The spanish gave up and America won. God bless America, my home sweet home.
The Spanish American War happened because the Americans felt that Cuba should have freedom from Spain. It was a very short war that started in May of 1898 when the U.S. Navy destroyed a Spanish fleet. The war ended in August 1988. What I find interesting about the war is that it was so short yet so critical.
I learned that it was one of the shortest wars ever and that it started when the U.S navy destroyed a Spanish fleet. Then in late June U.S troops arrived in Cuba. The American troops were barley organized and most of the food spoiled on the way to Cuba. They were hot in their heavy wool uniforms left over from the civil war and the Calvary had to leave behind their horses because there weren't enough boats to take them all across. None the less, the Americans stomped the Spanish quickly led by no other than Theodore Roosevelt. He formed a group called the rough riders and led 2 big attacks. The war was over within weeks. ~~~Will Franetovich
Actully It Wasn't Very interesting. Comaring to the civil war! But, As for information..... The Spanish American War was the first time the US got involved with another courty. That's Quite Interesting! It could Have been avoided many ways by making a treaty or some kind of deal! :3 ~eden
What I found interesting is that the war startedon a ban of trading sugar in an American harbor. Let us have sugar!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, America won. We finally got sugar too!
When I read about The Spanish American War I found out that it was a very short war. The outcome was that America had victory!!!I it was interesting and cool that "Teddy" Roosevelt fought with everybody else for his country. ~ Annie Pickren
When I was reading I saw that the war was between the U.S and Spain. The war was an American victory !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought that because of this small war the U.S got Puerto Rico,Guam, and Guantanamo Bay!! That is what I learned from this war. ********Lucy Gillett********:):)
after reading about the Spanish American war it turns out that it was a American victory:). even thought it was one of the shortest wars ever we got to take cuba,Puerto rico, and the island of Guam. also thought we had very weak soldiers with bad food supplies and bad equipment we still tired them out and they lost. but after the war the Spanish sold America a lot of Philippines for twenty million dollars. on December 1898 united states and Spain singed a contract where the states where under us territories but Cuba won their independence. the treaty was a big part of history because us defeated a European power. lol that's what I learned.
I learned that the Spanish American War was fairly short(April 1898 - August 1898). Also, this war could have been avoided if a treaty or deal of some sort was signed. The outcome of this war was that Americans had defeated the Spanish which meant that Cuba was free, and that America gained the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico. One thing that I thought was very interesting was that the Spanish American War ended all Spanish rule in the Americas. ~Coco L. `
The Spanish-American war all happened because America wanted the free Cuba from Spain. The overall outcome was the Americans won freeing Cuba. -Lexi W.
Thought that the spanish American war was very intersting because is only lasted about 5 months. America could of avoided the war by letting Mexico have the land they wanted with a reasonable price i also think we could of been a little nicer to the Mexicans too. -katie Mae Sigal
The war was started because America thought that Cuba deserved independence from Spain and the war was extremely short bu it still turned out with America winning. Owen
That really sums up everything that happened in the war, Owen. Many Americans wanted to help Cuba and the news reports that came out at the time made them want to help even more. _JASON [}:
I learned that americans don't mind there own business. They but in the spanish american war. This war could have easily been avoided if we weren't such war nuts. We didn't need to go to help cuba now did we. NO!!! The outcome was we won, not cuba, US THE USA. CUBA DID NOTHING AT ALL!But they did get independence. I thought that it was weird how people keep on standing up to us when we are the best. USA USA USA
This war was very interesting because it only took America 2 major wins to win the war.( Santiago de Cuba, Manila Harbor) After that, Spain surrendered their troops.This war I think was just an outcome of all the hard work Cuba put in protesting for their freedom. -Vishwa
us and perto rico are in this war and whats crazy about it is that their in a war with each other in 1890 and us won but here's the crazy part that perto rico is somewhere that you can vist on.
The Spanish American War was a U.S. victory! However this was one of the shortest wars. Even though we had won we had malnourished soldiers and bad supplies. -Ava Reese
The outcome was that the Americans gained the Latino colony of Puerto Rico and established a permanent relationship with Cuban citizens. The war could have been avoided by making a treaty with the Mexicans that stated: Mexicans can do whatever they wanted in the americas, but couldn’t go into the U.S. -Tina
I learned that the war started in 1898, during the war, the U.S.A. got control over Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines temporarily, but they got Hawaii permanently. It was pretty interesting how we won in about a year. The U.S.A. won! War could have been avoided if Spain had given Cuba independence.
The interesting part about the Spanish American War is that even though the United States lost many of their supplies and had to wear clothes that were too hot for the climate, they ended up doing very well in the war. The outcome was that the Americans ended up winning the war. In fact they won very quickly. This was one of the shortest wars we have ever been involved in. _JASON [}:
The war definitely could have been avoided! If WILLIAM MCKINLEY had been content with the 50 states, The Spanish-American war could've have been totally avoided! The outcome was the US gained control of Puerto Rico and Guam but Cuba became independent.
I learned that, according to the textbook, the Spanish-American War was “the war between the United states and Spain in 1898.” I thought that it was interesting that John Hay thought that the war was a “splendid little war.”’ I think that he could of thought this because he was comparing it to the civil war, which was much bigger longer and did kill more people, but no war should be called “splendid!” In the end, the U.S. won and gained control over Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Guam. They bought the Philippines for $20 million. -Sarah Prevost
The Spanish-American War was fought in 1898 between Spain and the U.S. mainly because Americans wanted to help Cuba gain independence. It was very short and we won and got Puerto Rico and Guam from Spain.
The overall outcome was USA won Puerto Rico. This was interesting because this established a relationship with Cuba.
