454 Words2 Pages
We chose this topic because America took a stand against Spain when they blew up the USS Maine. On February 15, 1898 the USS Maine was in Havana, when it was blown up killing 260 American sailors. America blamed it on Spain, which they controlled Cuba and Puerto Rico, and declared war. We also chose this topic because we wanted to learn more about the war and also to teach other more about it. The Spanish American war is not taught a lot in school because it only lasted three months. Our main topics during our exhibit will be about the battles, the rough riders, and the results of the war. We were inspired to research this paper because we were both very interested in this event in history. Especially after we have studied this in history
