Following the American Civil War, many factions wanted to establish the United States on the world stage. The United States had long wanted to acquire Cuba from the Spanish empire that they knew was on the decline. However, up to this point they had not been successful. With a combination of media yellow journalism and pressuring Congress for action, the United States was soon engaged in the Spanish American War.
The Spanish colonization of the Americas was initiated by Spanish conquistadors and developed by the Monarchy of Spain. It lasted over four hundred years from 1492 to 1898. Aims of the Spanish colonization were trade and spreading Christianity by gaining political rule.
The Mexican War of Independence sought autonomy for the North American nation from the Spanish Empire. Mexican independence was gained September the 16th of 1821.

The Germans had attempted to purchase the Islands from the Spanish, but pparently did not offer enough to interest the Spanish who also did not want to part with the few remaining parts of their once glorious empire.
None, although the US did annex Hawaii during the Spanish American War but it was not directly related to the War. The US did want a forward operating Naval base and coaling station in the Pacific and Hawaii had what they needed.

The Spanish wanted to control the Aztecs empire but they were driven out of the city
