    The document summarizes the Spanish-American War. It describes how a Cuban rebellion against Spanish rule in 1895 led to calls for U.S. intervention. The sinking of the U.S.S. Maine in Havana harbor in 1898 provided the catalyst for the U.S. to declare war on Spain. The U.S. quickly defeated Spanish forces in Cuba and Puerto Rico. As a result, Spain ceded control of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines to the U.S. in the Treaty of Paris, marking America's emergence as a global power.
