Spanish American War

The Spanish American War was fought between Spain, who was in Cuba, and the USA. This war lasted about four months and about 2500 Americans died, mostly due to disease. The Americans conquered the Spanish and imperialized Cuba. William McKinley was President at the time, and future president Theodore Roosevelt was a general. San Juan Hill, the site of the most important battle, was one of the most important Spanish encampments. America had won their first war.
