Spanish-American War Summary

Spanish-American War Summary:

     The Spanish-American War started because of Cuba rebelling towards Spain which troubled U.S Trade with Cuba. The issue is if Spain could not respect Cubans had they should go back to Spain. The words on the bottom also proves what I believe, it says “If he can’t respect our flag, send him where he belongs.”  The illustrator’s message is that Spain could not give what Cuba needed they should not interfere with Cuba again. The picture of the man being thrown of back to his home must be a soldier who treated Cubans and Americans harshly. Americans and Cubans would have thought it was perfect to stop the Spanish Empire and take some of their colonies. As the sentence says if you can’t respect citizens, especially the ones which have good trade with America, we would have to go to war. The technique that is being used is analogy. They use it as the way they threw the soldier back, but now days we would just leave them alone unless they killed or destroyed a special or important place. The other technique is exaggeration. The way they threw the soldier off the ship and the place where Spain and Cuba are to close since Cuba is farther away from Spain. The American Imperialism wasn’t put in use, since we interfered with another nation’s problem. The proof is the way we kicked the soldier of the ship almost like it was meant as a way we were going to fight. After we had won the Spanish-American War, the Spain Empire ended and a new era began.
