The Spanish American War

The Spanish American War is not a just war, because it is not reasonable to declare, it is not fair to Cuba and Spain, and it shows no justice. The Spanish American War is not reasonable,because the U.S sent U.S.S Maine to help Cuba to get its independence, but it exploded.There is not enough evidences to prove that Spain did it,and those medias wanted to earn more money by spreading fake news about the Maine.American imperialists get a very good chance to call for the war.Although President Mckinley didn't want war with Spain, but the majority of Americans truly believed Spain did it, so President Mckinley was forced to declare the war with Spain in 1898. The Spanish American War is fair, because U.S took over Spanish foreign colonies after the war, and forcing Cuba to accept Platt Amendment.This makes Cubans feel mad and angry, some of them even believe U.S is fighting for Cuban economic and money. The Spanish American War is not justified, because it left Cuba in chaos after the war, the government is a mess,sanitation was nonexistent,and disease was spreading like wildlife.In that time, Cuba doesn't have money in poor condition and useless government.
