Hearst was the publisher of several newspapers and he ran articles about the war. What he did is called yellow journalism because what he wrote wasn't true and it was designed to create a fury to have people push for war. Much the same thing happened in 2001 before we invaded Iraq. The lie about weapons of mass destruction pushed for war and to invade Iraq. None of it was true.
It was between Spain and the US.

The yellow press, prominent in the late 19th century, refers to sensationalist journalism that emphasized exaggeration and scandal to attract readers. Key figures included publishers like William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, who used their newspapers to stir public emotions. The yellow press played a significant role in shaping public opinion against Spain during the Spanish-American War by sensationalizing incidents such as the sinking of the USS Maine and depicting Spanish atrocities in Cuba, ultimately fueling calls for military intervention. This media frenzy contributed to escalating tensions and the eventual outbreak of war in 1898.
