3:42 You can say that again. If you are curious about how badly the loss of Cuba affected the Spaniards, I recommend you to inform yourselves about the literary movement that followed this war, named the "98 Generation" ("Generación del 98"). Many of Spain's most famous writers of all time came from this period, and if you know anything about Spanish literature, you know that's saying A LOT! It was a period of pessimistic self-reflection, which changed Spanish society to such a deep degree we still feel today. It was basically when Spain started to developed a MASSIVE inferiority complex, later on exacerbated by the Civil War and Franco, that's been a load ever since.

@Griff the Pyrate Bastard People like talking down on "powerful" people without probably ever reading any history. There have been endless examples of chivalry from the middle ages down to the 18th century of aristocrats who back then would be the only ones in the army and gladly layed down their lives even though they had more comfortable lives than the rest of the population. Like battle of Fontenoy in 1745. The French lost many regiment colonels who were aristocrats leading the front line despite them winning the battle. In Fontenoy, British and French officers were arguing politely on who gets to fire on each other first, which became legendary. And they were all aristocrats. Even the king Louis XV refused thrice to withdraw to safety when told to do so who was present in the battle. Spain by the Spanish American war still held such close old fashion beliefs close to heart, because they were monarchy. Do not for one minute ever consider holding people of today who are "powerful" who have money and are rich private citizens on the same levels to old aristocracy. Real power doesn't come from your money it comes from the heart, money usually followed it. And if your heart goes bad, your money leaves you also, it's only a question of time.

The contemporary theory by scientists, working off of the (admittedly limited) available data, is that it was probably an explosion in the coal room, due to all the flammable dust in the air, and some random spark Which means that the age of American empire began with a mechanical mishap occurring at a time when newspaper owners really wanted a war to move copy, which is second only to "Genghis Khan had an intelligence network that stretched all the way to Britain, and was prepared to conquer all of Europe, when he drank himself to death, forcing his army to return to Mongolia to elect a new Khagan, thus cancelling the invasion," on the wild historical turning points

They would have. Spain has proper German equipment and Cuba could be sustained. The Spanish held no chance at sea, but this was not a problem, Cuba was a large and populated island that could sustain a war effort. What led Spain to lose was it's incompetent leadership, not at the top but at the bottom. Officers of the Spanish army constantly withdrew and retreated in Cuba, even when they were ready to fight, for example in Puerto Rico, where this wasn't as common, the Americans had an extremely hard time. Also, the Spanish fleet sent to relieve the Philippines could've gotten to the Philippines but the British were pro-American so the Spanish took extra time to pass through the Suez canal.

The only one that isn't dubious is the Zimmerman Note. but its so ludicrous that I include it anyway. With the War of 1812 England had apologized for impressing American sailors and tried to resolve the conflict. but communication in 1812 was terrible. Nevermind the fact there were factions in the United states who were looking for a war. The Mexican American War was controversial during its time because the land that Mexico shot American soldiers on was disputed and America purposefully put them there. Most likely they were put there to incite a war. The Maine blew up due to an internal malfunction. Spain assessed the wreck and that was what they found at the time. But the war still happened due to yellow Journalism rallying the public up for War. and a few decades later the Americans assessed the ship and came to the same conclusion. The Gulf of Tonkin incident is to this day debated about whether it even occurred. And that officially started the Vietnam War. The Iraq War started because the Bush administration was looking for any reason to invade Iraq. They found proof of Weapons of Mass Destruction in a source that was known to be a fake lead. but the Bush Administration facilitated an environment of group think in America's intelligence community to press out anyone who disagreed with invading Iraq. The Iraq War intelligence analysis done by the CIA and other intelligence studies is now used as a case study on how not to do your job as an analyst.

Fun fact: the heavy casualties at San Juan Hill were deemed to be the result of the superior Spanish weaponry to that of the Americans. The Spaniards were armed with Mauser M1893 bolt-action rifles, which were smokeless and had a high rate of fire. The Americans were armed with Krag-Jorgensens, which were also bolt-action and smokeless but did not hold that much ammunition. As a result, it had a slower rate of fire, and resulted in the U.S. Army getting devastated at San Juan Hill as the Mausers outfired Krag-Jorgensens. In the aftermath, the U.S. studied captured Mauser rifles, and developed their own rifle as a copy: the M1903 Springfield. Its bolt-action was so similar to that of the Mauser that Mauser the company actually sued Springfield and won, receiving royalties.
