Spain Bombs U.S. Ship!!!
February 15th Spain bombs the U.S.S. Maine. Sources say that Spanish soldiers were seen leaving the U.S.S Maine only hours before the explosion. More than four hundred fifty American soldiers were killed and many others wounded. Spanish officials were caught plotting the event only days earlier by an American soldier. He had time to write one final letter, detailing the attack, before he was killed, but his letter did not reach his fellow soldiers in time. He was also discovered dead the night before the bombing of the Maine.
The American public is outraged at the lack of action taken President McKinley.
How many American lives does it take before the United States takes action?
