The Spanish-American War (April 21-August 13, 1898) began in the aftermath of the internal explosion of USS Maine in Havana Harbor in Cuba, leading to the intervention of the United States in the Cuban War of Independence. The war led to the US emerging predominant in the Caribbean region, and resulted in US acquisition of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. It also led to US involvement in the Philippine Revolution and later, to the Philippine-American War.
