Most Americans blamed Spain for the explosion of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898, which was a catalyst for the Spanish-American War. This incident, coupled with sensationalist journalism and the broader context of Cuban struggles for independence, fueled public outrage against Spain. Many Americans perceived Spain as a villain oppressing the Cuban people, leading to widespread support for intervention. Ultimately, this sentiment contributed to a surge in nationalism and imperial ambitions in the United States.
