Most people in cuba Philippines and especially puerto Rico diden't want independence, that was a movement created by the elites of the island with the objetive to sell most of the sugar to the Usa instead of Spain and the european market, imagine if the techno elites decides to do a separatist moviment because they have a problem with the goverment 💀.
The philippines diden't want independence either just more autonomy inside Spain and more representation in courts
Puerto Rico diden't have any important separatist movement.
And lastly Spain diden't have colonies they had viceroyalties that have representation in parlament and are not extractive in nature like colonies
a brief 1898 conflict sparked by Cuba's struggle for independence from Spain. Triggered by the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor, the United States easily defeated Spain, ending centuries of Spanish colonial rule and establishing America as a global power
Cuba and the Philippines were historically intertwined as the last two major Spanish colonies fighting for independence in the late 19th century. The Cuban struggle directly inspired Filipino ilustrados, influencing the Philippine revolutionary flag, constitution, and strategies in the fight against colonial rule.
the Philippines was an eight-month conflict in 1898 that ended over 300 years of Spanish colonial rule. Triggered by events in Cuba, it began in the archipelago with the U.S. Navy's decisive victory in the Battle of Manila Bay and resulted in the U.S. purchasing the islands for $20 million.
Alternate title.
The beginning of American imperialist
Said in good humor
Reference to hardcore history’s episode 49. The story of the war can be mistaken as a tale of the Monroe doctrine. But the US had no over seas bases in 1890 but controlled most of the pacific by 1900
This is history that is clearly relatable for our time and I still don't have the answer for how our people set up a thriving colonial society after much courage and suffering, ultimately choosing the Caribbean and the sugar over the 13 States after the French took the opportunity to join our rebel folks and so the people who crossed the Western ocean decided to create a new bold nation based on freedom and such noble notions, despite their hypocrisy, and in short order they slaughtered the locals, bought Lousiana from Napoleon's kid , Alaska from imperial Russia and even attempted to invade North America 25 years after Declaring Independence. Then ,after getting no further up north for some unfathomable reason focused on Southern region and after eulogising The Alamo and myriad conflicts with almost every neighbour we find ourselves here. 2026, and after destroying any Empires around the thirst for billigerance and conquest remains in the hearts of our now firmly identified cousins and I'm fucked if I can understand why?

Spanish empire existed in Cuba collapsed during 3 months American kicking out ...as directed reason ...while indirectly reasons where much influenced behinds loudly fast collapsed event
I wonder if federalization is an Anglo thing. Yes I know Mexico is one but it’s kind of weird to me why the United provinces of Central America failed or why a united islands of the Caribbean never gained steam.
