My Assigned Blog for Assigned Blog #5 was the 1898 causes of the Spanish American War. The United states and cuba liked each other and had a pretty good friendship. So when spain was would not let Cuba be an independent country. America did not like that very much. So, American asked nicely to spain if they would nice and peacefully let Cuba have their idependence and Spain did not like that either! This led to people complaining and revolting back at Spain of anti-spanish news stories in a very large number of newspapers. This problematic conflict led into the Spanish American War of 1898.
