SpanishAmerican War 1898.wmv

The SpanishAmerican War was a conflict in 1898 between Spain and the United States. While many historians and experts routinely include the indigenous struggles for independence in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippine Islands under this heading, the name Spanish-American War (explicitly suggesting the period of US military involvement, as it does) narrowly refers to the US-sponsored punctuation to the late-nineteenth-century turmoil in the Spanish colonies.[6]

Ostensibly fought over the issue of Cuban independence, the four-month war developed into a global conflict as the U.S. Navy sought to dislodge Spain from longstanding colonial outposts in both the Caribbean and the South Pacific. Its outcome—with temporary administrative authority over Cuba and indefinite colonial authority over Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines ceded to the U.S. through the December 10, 1898 Treaty of Paris[7]—had long-range implications for both belligerent parties. For Spain, the conflict, thereafter referred to as the Disaster, contributed to the further weakening of the Restoration Government, the eventual rise of the Primo de Rivera dictatorship, and Spains military insignificance in the twentieth century. The victorious United States, however, gained several island possessions spanning the globe and a modern navy capable of defending them

Remember this!  The Philippine-American War (1899-1902 all the way early 1914) was a longer war than the Spanish-American War. It is bloodier brutal war with the Filipinos. Filipinos was using unconventional warfare such as tiger pits with fungi sticks just like Vietnam. We did used the traditional conventional formation we learned from Spain but we have to diverged from that.

@NiNibubby Qué rápido sales con los insultos. Tú piensas así porque es lo que el sistema hace. Somos un pueblo grande e inteligente con el poder de hacer que nuestro país prospere y salga hacia adelante sin ser colonia ni estado federado. Somos una nación ocupada e invadida. Me importa un soberano carajo la ciudadanía estadounidense que la que quiero es la de mi nación Puerto Rico. Yo amo a Puerto Rico y haré todo que pueda para verlo independiente y fuera del control de un gobierno extranjero.

¡PUERTO RICO ESPAÑOL!
