#OnThisDay 1898
The #USSMaine exploded in Havana harbor in Cuba, killing 260 crew members. The press blamed Spain: “Remember the Maine, to hell with Spain!” It was a pretext for the #Spanish-AmericanWar, which resulted in America exerting control over Cuba, the Philippines, Guam and #PuertoRico.
The cruiser #USSMaine, which was obsolete by the time it was launched in 1890, exploded in #Havana harbour on #ThisDayInHistory in 1898. The explosion was internal, from its own coal bunkers, but the US blamed Spain & launched a war of colonial expansion, the #SpanishAmericanWar.
