In 1898, the United States declared war on Spain for four main reasons; rebellion, atrocities, economic interests, and the De Lome Letter.
EVIDENCE
The most important reasons why the United States declared war on Spain were Spanish atrocities and more specifically, yellow journalism and the explosion of the U.S.S. Maine.
JUSTIFICATION
Spanish atrocities caused the United States to publish newspaper stories, called Yellow Journalism, about how bad the Spanish treated the Cubans. The stories were exaggerations, but they caused Americans to want to support Cuban independence. Other examples to support justification
