The Spanish-American War was described as "a splendid little war" by John Hays, US Ambassador to the United Kingdom, writing from London to Theodore Roosevelt.

It is thought he described it thus because the conflict involved Americans from North and South and different ethnic backgrounds fighting together against a common enemy.

The war lasted from April 25 to August 12 1898.
