Spanish American War: War over Rough Riders Reign

War over Rough Riders Reign With president William McKinney assuming responsibility so as to shield his Americans living in Cuba from the Spanish, he sent over the U. S. S Maine. In any case, in transit over, the boorish graceless Spaniards exploded the boat before it could show up at its picked goal. â€Å"Remember the Maine! † was cheered by Americans everywhere throughout the nation. George Dewey valiantly storms his American Navy into Manila Bay. Dewey’s strength was unmistakable. Spain lost 384 men in this fight, America lost just 1. Dewey relinquished 11,000 soldiers in the Philippines and united with the Filipinos Rebels. This significantly threatened the Spanish and made the United States brave. The Rough Riders, which are a volunteer mounted force under the order of Leonard Wood and Teddy Roosevelt, and 17,000 American soldiers, attacked the port city of Santiago in June, 1898. The Rough Riders were certainly the soldiers of this fight and made the Americans foremost. They were successful to the point that the Rough Riders drove another fight; The Battle of San Juan Hill was a well known land fight that began on July first, 1898. After two days, the doltish Spanish endeavored to get away from the American blockage of Santiago Harbor. They were ineffective and in the end gave up on July seventeenth, 1898. American soldiers attacked Puerto Rico in an end to the last fight. This prompted one more American triumph. The United States is praising its triumph in this short war over Spain. Because of winning the war, our American government has constrained Spain to sign the Treaty of Paris. The provisions of this arrangement are that Cuba will get autonomous, Spain will give Puerto Rico and the Pacific Island of Guam to the United States, and the United States will pay 20 million dollars for the addition of the Philippines Islands. In this short multi week war, 5,400 Americans lost their lives safeguarding our nation against the severe Spanish. So at long last the United States was by and by triumphant and shielded the more vulnerable nations from certain downfall of the corrupted Spaniards. GO U. S. A.!!!!!!!
