The entire Spanish fleet in Cuba was largely destroyed during the Spanish-American War in 1898. The decisive event was the Battle of Santiago de Cuba, where the U.S. Navy, under the command of Rear Admiral William T. Sampson, effectively engaged and defeated the Spanish fleet. This loss marked a significant turning point in the war, leading to the eventual defeat of Spain and the end of its colonial rule in the Americas. The destruction of the fleet symbolized the decline of Spanish influence and the emergence of the United States as a colonial power.
