Several could be nominated.
- The Battle of Manila Bay which was a major victory was against a less capable, poorly armed and armored fleet, manned by a poorly trained conscript crew and commanded by an officer who knew that he could nor prevail against the US Asiatic Squadron. He fought for the Honor of Spain and hoped for the best.
- The Battle of San Juan Hill became famous but was more important from a strategic view because it forced the sheltering Spanish Fleet in Santiago to make a run for the open sea where they were destroyed.
- Kettle Hill was important as the key to taking San Juan Hill.
- The Invasion of Guantanamo was the key to landing the Army on Cuba in the first place.

∙ 13y agoPerhaps the opening battle at Manila Bay because it set the stage for all that was to follow. It was a major victory made amazing in that no US losses were recorded. No US ship was lost and no US lives were lost because of combat. A total of 9 US sailors were wounded in action. Admiral Montojo had 161 killed and 210 men wounded and lost 2 armored cruisers and 5 unprotected cruisers, one gunboat, and one transport ship. The shore batteries were silenced and Admiral Dewey controlled Manila Bay. The Philippines and the Spanish Army were isolated from the War.
