Irresponsible? No, the press pretty much knew that they were ENTIRELY responsible for the Spanish-American War.
The Spanish American War cost the United States $250 Million and 3,000 lives
After the Spanish American War, Guam became an American Territory. Actually it was a small island not really worth much. It actually became an American coaling station, or a place where American ships could refuel, or a filling station for ships.
The defeat of the Spanish Pacific Fleet by Admiral Dewey at Manilla Bay, Philippines. The defeat of the Spanish Atlantic Fleet at Santiago Bay, Cuba, and the American land victory at San Juan Hill on Cuba. It really wasn't much of a war. It prefaced a far larger war which lasted far longer than the Spanish-American War, and that was the Philippine-American War which was not covered in textbooks in many schools, because America is ashamed that it occurred. Although Cuba gained their independence, Philippines should have as well during that war---after all they already had their own Filipino President and Constitution. Americans decided to fight the Filipinos for rule over the Philippines, and this war is sadly addressed only at the end of the Spanish American War.
They pretty much lost every engagement. Dewey destroyed their fleet in the Philippines. Ground forces were taking over the Caribbean Islands. Spain was unable to counter the American forces.
