The Spanish-American War arose out of Cuba's wish for independence from Spain. Spanish forces tried to put an end to the idea. They treated harshly any Cubans believed to be disloyal to Spain. Newspapers in the United States, eager to sell copies, regularly ran stories about the suffering. Americans began to demand that something be done. The United States also had an economic interest in Cuba. Business investments on the island were estimated at 50 million dollars, and trade with Cuban ports was valued at 100 million dollars yearly.
