Spanish American War In the Philippines - 4of5

In 1898, a brief conflict with Spain, that lasted less than four months, marked a turning point in American and World History. The American defeat of the Spanish indicated the transition that was taking place -- the decline of Spain, and other European colonial powers, and the rise of the United States in the century that would eventually become known, in the words of Henry Luce, as the American Century.
