For some unknown (or well-known) reasons official history curriculum in Ukraine practically ignores events of the Spanish-American War of 1898. This fact creates numerous opportunities to manipulate people's views on the events of modern history. What were US troops doing on the Philippines in 1941? Is Puerto Rico a colony or an independent state? Why were the USA so much concerned about Vietnam? How can a Communist regime of Cuba tolerate an imperialistic US naval base in Guantanamo? I am quite convince that one cannot understand America without learning about that "splendid little war", which brought the USA onto the global scene.

You can't understand today's events w/o understanding how the USA has become a global superpower. Thanx! Hugo.
Thanks a lot for the perfect blog! I wish I had better command of English!
The Spanish-American war was a vivid example of uniting the nation. Strange as it may seem, but the war stimulated the economic growth of the USA. I used to think that any war can bring just devastation and economic dislocation.
