Answer:

I will give the two main, and most important, reasons for why America went to war with Spain in 1898. It involved major campaigns from Cuba and Philippine Islands.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. America's support during the ongoing struggle by Cubans and Filipinos against Spanish rule.

2. The mysterious explosion that occurred on the battleship U.S.S. Maine in Havana Harbor.

the United States declared war against Spain. It would be the first overseas conflict fought by the U.S. It involved major campaigns in both Cuba and the Philippine Islands.

The reasons for war were many, but there were two immediate ones: America's support the ongoing struggle by Cubans and Filipinos against Spanish rule, and the mysterious explosion of the battleship U.S.S. Maine in Havana Harbor.
