Războiul spaniolo-american, conform originalelor din engleză, [The] Spanish-American War şi spaniolă, Guerra Hispano-Estadounidense (sau desastre del 98, Guerra Hispano-Cubana-Norteamericana ori Guerra de Cuba ) a fost un conflict militar între Spania şi Statele Unite ale Americii declanşat în aprilie 1898. Ostilităţile propriu-zise au încetat în luna august a aceluiaşi an, iar tratatul de pace a fost semnat la Paris în decembrie 1898.
Războiul a început după ce Statele Unite au intervenit diplomatic pe lângă Spania în favoarea cubanezilor, cerând acesteia rezolvarea paşnică a problemei independenţei Cubei faţă de fosta mare putere colonială a ambelor Americi. Declanşarea conflictului militar s-a produs odată cu refuzul net al Spaniei, la care s-a adăugat sentimentul expansionist, încă puternic, al Uniunii de a trece în posesia federaţiei teritoriile spaniole din America şi Oceanul Pacific, insulele Cuba, Puerto Rico, Filipine, Guam şi Caroline.[1]
Riots in Havana by pro-Spanish "Voluntarios" gave the United States a reason to send in the warship USS Maine to indicate high national interest. Tension among the American people was raised because of the explosion of the USS Maine, and "yellow journalism" that accused Spain of extensive atrocities, agitating American public opinion. The war ended after decisive naval victories for the United States in the Philippines and Cuba.
Only 109 days after the outbreak of war, the Treaty of Paris, which ended the conflict, gave the United States ownership of the former Spanish colonies of Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Guam. Under the jurisdiction of the United States Military Government, the United States occupied Cuba until 1902.
