Njengoba kunikezwe umbhalo wokubhekisela ngempi yaseSpain neMelika, yaphela nini futhi kanjani le mpi?
Context:Impi yaseSpain neMelika[b] (ngo-Ephreli 21 kuya ku-Agasti 13, 1898) yaqala ngemuva kokuqhuma kwangaphakathi kwe-USS Maine eHavana Harbor eCuba, okwaholela ekungeneleleni kwe-United States eMpini Yenkululeko yaseCuba. Le mpi yaholela ekutheni i-United States ibe namandla amakhulu esifundeni saseCaribbean, futhi yabangela ukuba i-United States ithenge izindawo zaseSpain zasePacific. Kwaholela ekubandakanyeni kwe-United States kwi-Philippine Revolution futhi kamuva eMpini yasePhilippine-American.  Ikhulu le-19 leminyaka lalibonisa ukuwohloka okucacile koMbuso WaseSpain, kuyilapho i - United States isuka ekubeni izwe elisanda kumiswa yaba amandla esifunda aphakathi nendawo. Endabeni yaseSpain, ukwehla, okwase kuvele emakhulwini eminyaka adlule, kwaqala ngokusheshisa kuqala ngokuhlasela kukaNapoleon, okwakuzodala ukuzimela kwengxenye enkulu yamakoloni aseMelika, futhi kamuva ukungazinzi kwezombusazwe (izimemezelo, izinguquko, izimpi zombango) kwachitha izwe emphakathini nakwezomnotho. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i - U.S. yanda ngokomnotho phakathi nalelo khulu leminyaka ngokuthenga izindawo ezinjengeLouisiana neAlaska, ngokwezempi ngezenzo ezinjengeMpi YaseMexico neMelika, nangokuthola inani elikhulu labangenayo. Leyo nqubo yaphazanyiswa iminyaka embalwa kuphela iMpi Yombango YaseMelika nenkathi Yokwakha Kabusha.  Inkinga eyinhloko kwakuwukuthi iCuba ayizibuse. Kwase kuyiminyaka ethile kwenzeka ukuvukela ukubusa kwamakoloni aseSpain eCuba. I - United States yabasekela laba bavukeli lapho ingena eMpini YaseSpain neMelika. Kwake kwaba khona ukwesaba impi ngaphambili, njengaseMsebenzini kaVirginius ngo-1873. Kodwa ngasekupheleni kwawo-1890, umbono womphakathi waseMelika washintshela ekusekeleni ukuvukela ngenxa yemibiko yamakamu okuhlushwa ayemiselwe ukulawula abantu. I-yellow journalism yazikhulumela ngokweqile izenzo zobudlova ukuze yenyuse intshiseko yomphakathi futhi ithengise amaphephandaba nomagazini abengeziwe.  Amabhizinisi ayesanda kuphunyuka ekuwohlokeni okukhulu kwezomnotho futhi esaba ukuthi impi yayizophinde ibuyisele emuva lokho ayekutholile. Ngakho-ke, amabhizinisi amaningi enza imizamo eqotho yokuphikisa impi. UMongameli uWilliam McKinley wakushaya indiva ukubikwa kwezindaba okwedlulele futhi wafuna ukuxazulula le nkinga ngokuthula. Nakuba ayengakufuni ukulwa, uMcKinley wenza amalungiselelo okulwa nalokhu. Wazama ukuxazulula udaba lweSpain mayelana nokuzimela kweCuba kodwa wahluleka. Nokho, ngemva kokuba umkhumbi-mkhumbi wase-U.S. Navy iMaine uqhume futhi wacwila ngokuyimfihlakalo eHavana Harbor ngo-February 15, 1898, izingcindezi zezombangazwe zaphoqa uMcKinley ukuba angene empini ayefisa ukuyigwema.  Ngokuphathelene neSpain, kwakunokuxokozela kobuzwe, lapho abezindaba ababhaliwe babenethonya eliyinhloko, okwenza uhulumeni waseSpain ukuba anganikeli futhi ashiye iCuba njengoba yayishiye iFlorida yaseSpain lapho ibhekene nesimo esiyinkinga samakoloni lapho, iyidlulisela e-U.S. ngo-1821 ngokushintshanisa ukukhokhelwa kwezikweletu zaseSpain. Ukube uhulumeni waseSpain wayedlulisele iCuba kwakuyobhekwa njengokukhashelwa yingxenye yomphakathi waseSpain futhi cishe kwakuyoba khona inguquko entsha. Ngakho uhulumeni wakhetha ukulwa impi elahlekile kusengaphambili, kunokuba abeke engozini inguquko, wakhetha "ukubhidliza okulawulwayo" ukuze alondoloze Ukubuyiselwa Kwemibuso.  Ngo - April 20, 1898, uMcKinley wasayina isinqumo esihlanganyelwe seCongress esifuna ukuba iSpain ihambe futhi egunyaza uMongameli ukuba asebenzise amandla ezempi ukuze asize iCuba ithole inkululeko. Ephendula, iSpain yanqamula ubudlelwane bezombusazwe ne-United States ngo-April 21. Ngosuku olufanayo, i - United States Navy yaqala ukuvimbela iCuba. Zombili izinhlangothi zamemezela impi; zazingenabo ababambisene nazo.  Impi yamasonto ayishumi yalwiwa eCaribbean nasePacific. Njengoba abashisekeli bempi base-United States babekwazi kahle, amandla asolwandle ase-United States ayeyobonakala enqumayo, evumela amabutho okuhambela ukuba ehlele eCuba ngokumelene nebutho laseSpain elalivele libhekene nokuhlaselwa yizihlubuki zaseCuba ezweni lonke futhi licekelwa phansi nakakhulu umkhuhlane ophuzi. Abahlaseli bathola ukuzinikela kweSantiago de Cuba neManila naphezu kokusebenza kahle kwamanye amayunithi ahamba ngezinyawo aseSpain, nokulwa okunzima ngezikhundla ezinjenge-El Caney neSan Juan Hill. IMadrid yacela ukuthula ngemva kokuba amabutho amabili aseSpain acwiliswa ezimpini zaseSantiago de Cuba naseManila Bay, kwathi eyesithathu, eyomkhumbi yesimanje yabuyiselwa ekhaya ukuze ivikele ugu lwaseSpain.  Impi yaphela ngo - 1898 ngeSivumelwano SaseParis, esaxoxwa ngemibandela eyayizosiza i - United States. Lesi sivumelwano sanikeza i - United States ubunikazi baseSpain ePuerto Rico, eGuam, nasePhilippines futhi sanikeza i - United States ukulawula iCuba okwesikhashana. Ukudluliselwa kwePhilippines kwakuhilela ukukhokhwa kwezigidi ezingu - 20 zamaRandi (izigidi ezingu - 650 zamaRandi namuhla) eSpain yi - U.S. ukukhokhela ingqalasizinda ephethwe yiSpain.  Impi yaseSpain neMelika yaphetha cishe amakhulu amane eminyaka yokuba khona kweSpain emazweni aseMelika, e-Asia nasePacific. Ukunqotshwa nokulahleka kwezinsalela zokugcina zoMbuso WaseSpain kwaba ukushaqeka okujulile emphefumulweni kazwelonke waseSpain futhi kwabangela ukuhlolwa kabusha okuphelele kwefilosofi nobuciko emphakathini waseSpain owaziwa ngokuthi iGeneration of '98. Phakathi naleso sikhathi i - United States ayizange nje kuphela ibe amandla amakhulu, kodwa futhi yathola izindawo eziningana zeziqhingi emhlabeni wonke, okwabangela impikiswano evuthayo ngokuhlakanipha kokwanda.
Impi yaseSpain neyaseMelika yaphela ngo - August 13, 1898 ngeSivumelwano SaseParis sika - 1898. Lesi sivumelwano sanikeza i - United States i - Puerto Rico, i - Guam, ne - Philippines.
