The USS Maine exploded in Havana Harbor on February 15, 1898. Newspaper publishers William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer fanned the war fever in their newspapers. By April 25 this paid off as the US Congress declared war on Spain, kicking off a "splendid little war" and inaugurating an age of American Imperialism.
