American jingoism in the late 19th century was fueled by a combination of nationalism, the desire for territorial expansion, and sensationalist journalism, particularly through yellow journalism that exaggerated Spanish atrocities in Cuba. The explosion of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898 further inflamed public opinion against Spain, leading to calls for intervention. This fervent patriotism and public outcry ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, as many Americans rallied behind the idea of liberating Cuba from Spanish rule.
The sinking of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor on February 15, 1898, significantly fueled American jingoism and inflamed relations with Spain. The explosion was sensationalized by the media, particularly by newspapers owned by William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, which stirred public outrage and calls for intervention. This event became a rallying cry for those advocating for war, ultimately leading to the Spanish-American War. The phrase "Remember the Maine!" encapsulated the fervor and sentiment that characterized this period of American expansionism.

The Filipino-American War was primarily caused by the United States' desire to annex the Philippines following the Spanish-American War, leading to a clash between American imperial ambitions and Filipino aspirations for independence. The effect of the war was devastating, resulting in significant loss of life, widespread destruction, and the establishment of American colonial rule over the Philippines, which fueled nationalist sentiments and a long struggle for independence. Ultimately, the conflict shaped Philippine-American relations and influenced future movements for self-determination in the Philippines.
