The United States declared war on Spain on April 25, 1898, following a series of events that heightened tensions, including the explosion of the USS Maine in Havana harbor. The declaration was largely driven by public sentiment and pressure from Congress, particularly influenced by the Yellow Press and advocates for Cuban independence. President William McKinley asked Congress for the declaration, which it granted after some debate.
