A Cuban rebellion in search of Independence that was strongly supported by the media and the public as well as other events that caused the Spanish-American War:

1. de Lome Letter - de Lome was a Spanish ambassador in US. Sent letter back to Spain saying McKinley was weak and wouldn't fight. It was intercepted by and published in the New York Journal.

2. Battleship Maine - the sinking of the U.S. battleship Maine in Havana harbor, with a loss of 260 men. Although Spanish complicity was not proved, U.S. public opinion was aroused by yellow journalism and people began demanding to go to war to get revenge.

What factor is most closely associated with the decision of the United states to declare war on Spain in 1898?

The most closely associated factor with the United States' decision to declare war on Spain in 1898 was the explosion of the USS Maine in Havana harbor, which was widely attributed to Spanish sabotage. This incident, combined with growing public sentiment fueled by sensationalist journalism (often referred to as "yellow journalism") that portrayed Spain as a brutal oppressor in Cuba, galvanized American support for intervention. Additionally, the desire for expansion and the promotion of American imperial interests played a significant role in the decision to go to war.
