When William McKinley became president in 1897 and had to deal with the rebellion in Cuba he did what?

He was able to induce the US Congress to legislate an act of war against Spain, in 1898. This became known as the Spanish-American War. Many believed the sinking of the Maine, just off the coast of Cuba, was a US act of scuttling a warship, as a pretext to legitimizing war against Spain. At any rate, the rapid end result was the gain of Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines as US territories, and Puerto Rico and Guam are US territories still to this day.

Spain ruled Cuba but the Cubans revolted. There was a lot of US sentiment in favor of the Cuban rebels. It was something of a stretch to apply the Monroe Doctrine to Spain's efforts to maintain control of Cuba, but the US did send the battleship Maine down to Cuba with no clear purpose.
