manila bay
the spanish–american war was a conflict fought between spain and the united states in 1898. hostilities began in the aftermath of sinking of the uss "maine" in havana harbor, leading to american intervention in the cuban war of independence. the sinking of the uss "maine" occurred on february 15, resulting in the deaths of 266 people and causing the united states to blame spain, since the ship had been sent to havana in order to protect a community of u.s. citizens there. american acquisition of spain's pacific possessions led to its involvement in the philippine revolution and ultimately in the philippine–american war.
