美國陸戰隊登陸關達那摩灣 (Guantanamo Bay) 1898610

18982月,美國軍艦緬因號在古巴外海被擊沈。四個之後,也就是610日,美國海軍陸戰隊登陸古巴的關達那摩灣,並且和古巴反抗軍一起和西班牙進行地面作戰。由於西班牙軍隊並沒有準備要在殖民地作戰,因此西班牙在五個星期之後就在聖地牙哥向美軍投降了。

In February 1898, the U.S.S. Maine sank off the coast of Cuba. Four months later, on June 10, U.S. Marines landed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and joined Cuban rebels to fight a land war against Spanish soldiers. Unprepared to fight a battle so far from home, Spain surrendered to the U.S. at Santiago about five weeks later.
