People should pay more time to history from 1850-1935, pre-war history is far more important then war-histories because we know war is bad but when will Tv, Movies or education tell us how things esculates into a war in the first place. There is plenty more to it then the information we have been shared that is important these days to know and who bothers to go to seminars to listen to Historians? i guess it's easier for me to keep track on European History but there should be plenty of stories in US as well, deceit and political gains rarely differ. |
Funny you mention those years. Fact: The event that sparked the war in 1898 was the explosion of a US ship in Cuba. The explosion was a mystery but Democrats pushed the Republican government into a war with Spain, on the suspicion that Spain was behind it. Quite a few people think it was an inside job. At the end of the war, the US were successful in a regime change, ending Spain’s hold of the Caribbean. Sounds familiar? The US also took a few of the colonies for themselves, but call ‘em territories.
