February 15, 1898: The Maine Blows Up - A Pivotal Moment in American History This evocative image captures the aftermath of the explosion that forever changed the course of United States history. The USS Maine, an American battleship, is seen engulfed in flames and billowing smoke, having been allegedly blown up in Havana Harbor, Cuba. The incident, which occurred on February 15, 1898, would lead to the Spanish-American War and the end of Spanish rule in Cuba. The USS Maine had arrived in Havana Harbor on January 25, 1898, to protect American interests during the Cuban rebellion against Spanish rule. However, on the night of February 14-15, an explosion rocked the ship, killing 266 American sailors and injuring over 300 more. The cause of the explosion remains a mystery, with theories ranging from a Spanish sabotage to an internal explosion. The incident sparked outrage in the United States, leading to a wave of anti-Spanish sentiment and demands for war. President McKinley, initially hesitant to engage in military action, was eventually pressured by the American public and the press to take a stand. On April 25, 1898, the United States declared war on Spain, marking the beginning of the Spanish-American War. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris on December 10, 1898, which granted the United States control over Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, as well as temporary control over Cuba. The end of Spanish rule in Cuba was formalized with the signing of the Platt Amendment in 1901, which gave the United States the right to intervene in Cuban affairs. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in American history, one that forever altered the political landscape of the Caribbean and the world.
