西元1898年,古巴獨立運動導致古巴人與西班牙統治者間的衝突。美國要求西班牙從古巴撤退,並且讓島民能夠自治,但是西班牙卻拒絕美國的要求,甚而向美國宣戰。這場戰爭也使西班牙在西半球的殖民統治地位宣告終止。

In 1898, an independence movement in Cuba led to conflict between Cubans and their Spanish rulers. The U.S. demanded that Spain withdraw from Cuba and allow the islanders to rule them, but Spain refused and declared war on the U.S. This war would result in the end of Spanish colonial rule in the Western Hemisphere.
