Best Answer

Some think that Spain was responsible for the explosion that killed most of the crew. But others say it may have been the Cuban rebels. The reasoning, that the Cubans sank the USS Maine knowing Spain would be blamed for it. Either way, there has never been any proof of those theories and an actual cause has not been determined.
