Who fought in the Battle of Manila Harbor?
That was the Battle of Manila Bay which took place on 1 May 1898, during the Spanish-American War. At Manila Bay in the Philippines, the U.S. Asiatic Squadron destroys the Spanish Pacific fleet in the first battle of the Spanish-American War. Nearly 400 Spanish sailors were killed and 10 Spanish warships wrecked or captured at the cost of only six Americans wounded.
How American neutrality came to an end?
I believe it's because of the attack on pearl harbor.
What allowed the American Pacific Fleet to survive the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor?
American aircraft carriers were out at sea at the time of the attack
What was the name of the ship that became a part of a battle cry?
"Remember the Maine" was the battle cry that inspired US to enter the Spanish-American War in 1898. I guess there was a similar battle cry about Pearl Harbor but it was probably "Remember Pearl Harbor" and did not relate to any ship, as many ships were destroyed there.
The MAIN reason the attack at Pearl Harbor was so damaging is because at the time of the attack?
because it destroyed most of the American naval fleet which was lined up in Pearl Harbor.
