How did the U.S start the Spanish-American war?
What were the results of the war, and how did it change America forever
Please answers this question
 
The USS Maine sank. The media blamed it on Spanish mines and it made it very difficult for McKinley not to declare war. In reality it almost for sure had nothing to do with the Spanish. It changed America I guess because it introduced the power of print media and of public opinion.
 
The USS Maine blew up.
The media blamed the Spanish (the start of "yellow journalism")
The rest is history...
