12 2 Spanish American War
The Spanish-American War began in 1898 after the USS Maine exploded in Havana Harbor, killing 266 Americans and leading the US to blame Spain. The US Navy blockaded Cuba and attacked Spanish forces in Cuba, the Philippines, and Guam. The war ended on December 10, 1898 with the Treaty of Paris, in which Spain ceded control of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines to the US. The US acquired these territories as part of a new American Empire, and the Foraker Act made Puerto Rico an official US territory.
Chapter 12 sec2 spanish am war
The US went to war with Spain in 1898 over the Cuban struggle for independence from Spanish rule. Spain's harsh policies in Cuba, including relocating many civilians to camps where thousands died, generated sympathy for the Cuban rebels in the US. Yellow journalism by newspapers exaggerated Spanish atrocities and fueled public support for war. The sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor also increased tensions. Under public pressure, McKinley asked Congress to declare war on Spain. The four month war ended in victory for the US, resulting in Cuba gaining nominal independence while becoming a US protectorate and the US acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and control of the Philippines.

2) Through its Open Door Policy, the US attempted to maintain influence in China and prevent European powers from dividing it into exclusive spheres of control.
3) As a result of the Spanish-American War, the US gained control of former Spanish colonies like Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, though there was resistance to American rule in some places like the Philippines.

The Great Depression arrived later in California than other parts of the country due to the diversity of California's economy in agriculture, industry, entertainment, tourism and services. This made California less impacted than more industrialized Northeastern states initially. However, the depression did eventually affect California in the 1930s. After the depression, California remained connected to the military, which helped its economy by keeping ship repair facilities in San Francisco Bay and building ships, demonstrating the importance of California's role in supporting the country's armed forces.

This document provides an overview of the current state of Kabul, Afghanistan following decades of war. It describes the massive destruction throughout the city from factional fighting in the 1990s, with an estimated 78,000 homes destroyed and much of the city in ruins. However, signs of rebuilding and renewal are emerging, as markets are active, schools have reopened for girls, and residents demonstrate resilience and optimism despite the challenges. While the damage is extensive, continued reconstruction efforts and foreign investment could potentially transform Kabul over the coming decade, though it remains to be seen if predictions that it may become like Dubai are realistic given the scope of devastation.

Fidel Castro ruled Cuba for almost 50 years until stepping down in 2008 due to poor health. He died in 2016 at the age of 90.

Though Castro was popular among some Cubans, others opposed his authoritarian rule and communist policies, leading many to flee to Florida. Castro's death renewed debates about his legacy and Cuba's future political system.
