This was an event that was the tipping point for the end of the Spanish Empire and the rise of the US as a formidable player on the world stage. Not all Americans were happy with the change, with famous Americans like Mark Twain speaking out about the US occupation of the lands that it was meant to save.

American occupation

A very detailed description of the slightly uncertain conflict. Listing the units and where they were based and the areas of operation did help pinpoint historical facts.

Pacified and interesting.

Interesting history of how the Spanish came to be part of the American Empire and how the war had to be overcome just taste of things to come a few years later with other war.
