The Spanish-American War was due to explosion of the US warship, the USS Maine that was docked in Havana, Cuba. Over 200 US sailors lost their lives. The US press and others blamed Spain for this act of war. Based on the destruction of the USS Maine, the Spanish-American War began as the US declared war on Spain.
