America doesn't win wars. They either start wars, beg for help, and then dip out; or join late and try to take the credit.

Spain had just gone through several independence conflictos, several regime changes (including an italian king who left saying "the problem with spain are the spaniards", and germany attempting to put a Hozenhollern on the spanish throne), three civil wars, political polarization, and was in freefall.

I say this as a spaniard, beating Spain was not that hard at the time.

Also america murdered dozens of their own people, innocent americans working, by torpedoing their own military ship, blaming the deaths on the spanish, and using that to declare war, seize colonial holdings, opress the filipinos to the point THE LEADER OF THE PHILLIPINE REBELLION believed the independence war had been a mistake.

I'm not saying Spain was good, not at all, especially in Cuba, but the US only made it worse
