The are the three main reason that started the Spanish-American War. Yellow Journalism led America to believe that Spain had sunken one of our battle ships, the USS Maine, when it had been reported missing. America felt empathy for Cuba when Spain tried to take them over. America was almost controled by ENgland and we knew how cuba felt with being controled. Last, America just went back to its roots of imperialism. The US just would have another territory over sea, Spain, to help grow America’s world power.
