The Spanish-American War has a major historical significance because even though the war did give great power to the U.S. but we had the economic growth that give the U.S. the great power from previous years ago. Before the Spanish-American war, the congress passed the Teller Amendment that was promising that the U.S. would leave Cuba independent. The Philippines and other added nations struggled against the United States rule. the most immediate effect of anger over the U.S. was in 1899-1901 war campaign by Emilio Aguinaldo and the Filipinos against the United States. this was bloodier than the Spanish-American War.
The war revealed the growing power of media to control public opinion. The things that changed to be come powerful are the newspapermen like Hearst and Pulitzer practiced yellow journalism, sensationalizing stories and whipping the public into a frenzy for the simple purpose of increasing circulation. The war is what helped the media centers getting their money and stuff like that.
