At the begging of the war we were very powerful. We had a great economy. The United States were very prosperous. International Darwinism, the evolution is strong the world is in our hands.

There once was a book called Our Country: It's Possible Future and Its Present Crisis. In the book it pretty much says that smaller countries aren't as strong as bigger countries. They wanted to take the third world countries over.

People were worried about Europe getting bigger and bigger. Europe took over Africa, and into the ocean.

Cuba was controlled by Spain. Spain was controlling Cuba at the time. Cuba had depression, and starvation. Cuba didn't like Spain powering over them. Cuba is very poor due to paying taxes. People started calling Wiler the "butcher".

The Yellow Journal over exaggerates headlines. They wanted the UNties States to go to war, so that they have other things to put in their newspaper.

The Teddy Roosevelt, he got his name from hunting a bear. Teddy thought we needed a bigger Navy, over time it got stronger and stronger. Teddy created a group called Rough Riders. They tear through the Spanish. Many die from the Navy.USA ends up beating the Spanish.

Yo Soy El War

At the beginning of the 20th century the USA was in a period of unprecedented prosperity and power. We were the most powerful we've ever been. We had a great social environment, great economy. We were prosperous. At this time there was also an international Darwinism movement. (Only the strong survive, the weak die.) They said the USA is strong and the World belong to the United States. Basically it's out there and we have to take it. There was also a book at this time called our country it's possible, future, and present crises. The book said the natural law dictates and the small countries will dominate. A lot of people got a hold of this book, especially imperialist, and they said "Give me everything on this Earth, tonight." Basically. They wanted to go over all those backward countries and take them over. Another thing people in America were concerned with: Europe started to expand, Europe went into Africa. People decided America better spread otherwise Europe is going to come there and take over. We get our opportunity to try out our new imperialist ideas in Cuba, it was controlled by Spain. Spain is controlling Cuba at the time. Now, here's what happens in Cuba, it's 90 miles away from Florida, Cuban citizens started to up rise to Spain, rebel. They had wide spread expression and they were in poverty. They didn't like the Spanish taking control of them. Anther problem was the nites states imported sugar from Cuba, we ran high taxes on them. Another reason why they're poor. he Cubans now up rise. The general from Spain that was in control at the time put the Cuban's in a time out. People started calling him the Butcher. We had newspapers at this time, newspapers were the only media source around, so people were buying newspapers. There's two people who own it, Joesph Pulitzer and they wanted to sell more newspapers than all the other people. So they out scooped all the other people, they developed "Yellow Journalism" it printed exaggerated headlines. So they wanted a war to happen, they wanted the US to go to war to make more papers to make more money. "You give me a story and I'll start a war" #1 That De Lom letter comes out and they publish it, and completely twist everything. The United states decide we should see what's going on, we sent the battle ship don around Cuba, now, we sent this battle ship USS MAINE. It was parked outside Savina Harbor, all of a sudden it blows up. And this paper gets a picture of it somehow. And it's a BIG exaggeration, so the Americans and Spanish do a big investigation. Everybody thinks Spain did it. So the United states decides "War to Spain." And the ship actually exploded on an accident. Teddy Roosevelt, he is the secretary of the navy. He thinks we need to have a strong navy. It gets stronger and stronger and strong. So, Roosevelt gets the idea of sending our navy to the Philippians was because that's where all the Spanish ships were, our boats come in and we take them out. We then come back to America, and we go over to Cuba. The Cuban was a little different than Spanish, we had wool uniforms and it's hot in Cuba. The United States utilizes it's man power. Teddy Roosevelt wanted to get in on the action so he created a group, so the army goes over there with the Rough Riders. We were not prepared to fight there with our uniforms, food, power, sickness. 5,000 soldiers died from things other than actual war wounds. We then beat the Spanish. Now, we go to Paris and sign a peace tready with Spain giving them 20,000,000$ dollars. But we get four pieces of territory. We take Porto Rico, Guam, and the Philippians. We want territory in the ocean for the navy. We now have navel bases. People in all the places we have do not look like Americans, so we decided that we have to go out there and teach them how to be American. There was a bunch of people al for going out there and now people are saying "We shouldn't go out there because at one time the British had us and we weren't happy about it." They said the places we now have should get there freedom. They were so upset that they started a war and 600,000 Philippians died in this war. We keep them intil 1946 At the beginning of the war we were very powerful. We had money and economic growth. At this time, there was an Darwinism movement. (only the strongest survive). The strongest controlled the world so many people thought the world belonged to the US.

There was a book at the time called Our Country: It's Possible Future and It's Present Crisis.- says that small countries will be dominated. Imperialists got ahold of the book and wanted to gain control of the world.

Europe started to expand into Africa. People thought that America needed to spread their influence or Europe would come in.

Cuba was controlled by Spain. Cuba started uprising against Spain. They were poor. The spanish kings put the Cuban into "timeout". Kind of like concentration camps. People died from unsanitary conditions and disease.

Newspapers were the only media source around. There were two people that controlled most of the newspaper. They developed a type of journalism called yellow journalism. It printed over exaggerated headlines. They wanted a war to happen because it would be better headlines. They published the De Lome letter and twisted it.

The US decided to send a battleship down to Cuba. It was called the USS Maine. It was just sitting there and it blew up. Everybody thought Spain did it. It really blew up by mistake.

Teddy Roosevelt was the Naval Secretary. He thought we should have a strong Navy. He sent our Navy to the Philippines and we took out the Spanish Navy. We had wool uniforms, bad guns, and bad food. Roosevelt created a group called the rough riders. The most significant enemy was lack of preparedness. 400 soldiers were killed from the Spanish and 5,000 were killed by everything else. America still won. We signed a peace treaty and gave them 20 million dollars and we took control of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines. We taught them to be Christian, and how to read and write.

Now people were suffering from buyers remorse. They thought that those countries should have their freedom. We kept the Philippines until 1946.
