The phrase "A splendid little war" was coined by U.S. Secretary of State John Hay in reference to the Spanish-American War of 1898. Hay used this term to describe the conflict due to its relatively short duration and perceived success for the United States. The war resulted in the U.S. gaining territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines.
