The sinking of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor in February 1898 provoked a strong reaction in America, fueling public outrage and anti-Spanish sentiment. Many Americans blamed Spain for the explosion, despite the lack of conclusive evidence, leading to the rallying cry "Remember the Maine!" This incident played a significant role in escalating tensions that ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the Spanish-American War. The media, particularly yellow journalism, sensationalized the event, further inflaming public opinion and pushing the U.S. toward military intervention.
