In 1898, President McKinley sent the U.S. battleship Maine to protect American citizens and interests in Cuba. Shortly after arrival in Havana Harbor, the USS Maine unexpectedly exploded! The sinking of the USSMaine killed 263 U.S. sailors and shocked American citizens at home. No one knew why the USS Maine exploded.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!
