The US entered the Spanish American War because:
- The US had investments in Cuba and the fighting between the Cubans and the Spanish was ruining the economy.
- The American people sympathized with the Cubans' desire for independence from Spain. They were also horrified by newspaper reports of cruel treatment of captured rebels.
- The growing feeling of power in the US created a desire to remove European influence from areas of US interest.
- The USS Maine sank mysteriously in Havana harbor. It was a huge boat that was sent down to bring Americans safely back the the US. It blew up and America blamed the Spanish, which outraged the American people and sparked the declaration of war. (After the war it was discovered that the boiler blew up. Spanish involvement was never proved.)
