During the Cuban Revolution, the brutal tactics employed by Spanish forces, including the use of concentration camps and violent repression, sparked outrage among the American public and intensified sympathy for the Cuban rebels. Reports of atrocities, particularly those highlighted by sensationalist journalism (often referred to as "yellow journalism"), galvanized support for intervention. This growing sentiment ultimately contributed to the United States' decision to intervene in the conflict, culminating in the Spanish-American War in 1898, as Americans felt a moral obligation to assist the Cuban struggle for independence. The actions of the Spanish thus played a pivotal role in shifting American attitudes towards favoring intervention in Cuba.
