The explosion of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor in February 1898 fueled American journalism and inflamed relations with Spain. Sensationalist reporting, particularly by newspapers owned by William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, blamed Spain for the incident, rallying public sentiment against the Spanish government.

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.
