Spanish-American War Political Cartoon, 1898

Entitled: "War is Hell - Sherman peace in Cuba under Spanish rule is worse than hell." Bloody brutal figure of Spain trampling on emaciated Cuban child and dead USS Maine sailor. USS Maine (ACR-1) was classified as an armored cruiser. The Maine is best known for her loss in Havana Harbor on the evening of February 15, 1898. Sent to protect U.S. interests during the Cuban revolt against Spain, she exploded suddenly, without warning, and sank quickly. The ship's crew consisted of 355: 26 officers, 290 sailors, and 39 marines. Of these, there were 261 fatalities. The cause and responsibility for her sinking remained unclear after a board of inquiry investigated. Popular opinion, fanned by inflammatory articles printed by William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, blamed Spain. The phrase, "remember the Maine, to Hell with Spain", became a rallying cry for action, which came with the Spanish-American War later that year. While the sinking of the Maine was not a direct cause for action, it served as a catalyst, accelerating the approach to a diplomatic impasse between the U.S. and Spain. Lithograph by Grant Hamilton for Judge magazine, April 30, 1898.

Título:
Spanish-American War Political Cartoon, 1898
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Titulado: "La guerra es el infierno: la paz de Sherman en Cuba bajo el dominio español es peor que el infierno". Figura brutal y sangrienta de España pisoteando a un niño cubano demacrado y al marinero muerto del USS Maine. USS Maine (ACR-1) fue clasificado como un crucero blindado. El Maine es mejor conocido por su pérdida en el puerto de La Habana en la noche del 15 de febrero de 1898. Enviado para proteger los intereses estadounidenses durante la revuelta cubana contra España, explotó repentinamente, sin previo aviso, y se hundió rápidamente. La tripulación del barco estaba formada por 355: 26 oficiales, 290 marineros y 39 infantes de marina. De estos, hubo 261 muertes. La causa y la responsabilidad de su hundimiento no quedaron claras después de que una junta de investigación investigó. La opinión popular, avivada por artículos incendiarios publicados por William Randolph Hearst y Joseph Pulitzer, culpó a España. La frase, "recuerden el Maine, al infierno con España", se convirtió en un grito de guerra para la acción, que llegó con la Guerra Hispanoamericana más tarde ese año. Si bien el hundimiento del Maine no fue una causa directa de acción, sirvió como catalizador, acelerando el acercamiento a un callejón sin salida diplomático entre los EE. UU. y España. Litografía de Grant Hamilton para la revista Judge, 30 de abril de 1898
