President William McKinley was involved in the Spanish-American War, which took place in 1898. He initially sought a diplomatic resolution to the conflict but ultimately succumbed to public and congressional pressure to intervene after the sinking of the USS Maine and growing support for Cuban independence. McKinley's administration declared war on Spain in April 1898, leading to a swift military campaign and the eventual defeat of Spanish forces.
