Major battle was San Wuan Hill. Navy did a good job in this war. They surronded Cuba and destoryed the spanish navy. Teddy Roosevelt led the rough writers, The Americans, made up of cowboys, college athletes. Anit Imperialist League was established June 8th 1898. We hated Great Britian taking over us. They preached against imperialism. We thought we should take care of ourselves. William Jennings Bryan - loser in presidential politics. Banned in 1921. We wanted a Panama canal to get to the other side, because it's faster, to get to South America. Charles of Spain had dreams about building canals. Formed a company to build canal. French got permission from Columbia to build a canal through Panama in 1876. The company failed. Didn't go well for French. The French company failed with money issues and dying from a disease called yellow fever. We buy the equipment where the canal is for millions of dollars.
