Question 7 answers
The American war with the Empire of Spain was at a time in which the United States decided to build a Navy. However, when orders came down to send troops to Cuba, the Rough Riders illustrated that this was, in part, a military contribution of elitists caught up in the western romanticism of the cowboy.
The Empire of Spain was never the same after Napoleon’s invasion in 1808 of the Iberian Peninsula. From this moment in time, territories in the empire were rebelling and obtaining their independence such as in Latin America. By the late 19C, a few island territories in the Pacific and Caribbean remained.
From the 1880s through the 1910s the Empire of Spain along with the USA expanded into non-Christian regions such as Africa and Asia ruling them as colonies to which freedom has not yet come.
