My fellow Americans, what a splendid little war!

[John hay @25h230sos]

Peace talks:
✅ Spain blinked.

We’re not calling it a win yet but let’s just say... I’m dusting off my treaty pen. 🖊️💼

@25H230AIL Ant like the Spanish doing better champ 🫣

[William Mckinley @25H230POTUS]

Just want to make myself clear, ant no land Spain has in the Americas or Pacific Ocean will be theirs at the end of this War ✊

[Commodore George Dewey ⚓ @25H230USNAV]

Aguinaldo’s men are making moves inland.
They want freedom. I want victory.
For now, we both want Spain out.
Let’s see how long we stay aligned. 🤝@25H230PhiRep

[Theodore Roosevelt @25H230TR]

The Rough Riders have left Tampa.
We are bound for Santiago de Cuba. 🌊🐎🔥

I’ve got a rifle, a regiment, and a righteous cause. Spain won’t know what hit them… until it’s too late.
See you on the battlefield. Or don’t. Depends how fast you run. #ROUGHRIDERS #CubaLibre #TROnTheMove #HIST230 #TAMUQ @justahistprof

@25H230USNAV @justahistprof BEST CAPTAIN OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN 🙌

[Commodore George Dewey ⚓ @25H230USNAV]

May 7 1898
So now we’re talking Hawaii?
Makes sense.
If we’re gonna sail the Pacific, we better own the map.
And guess who’s been clearing the way? ⚓😉

@25H230SPMOD @25H230Senate @justahistprof Are you basically saying you suck at war? And you call yourself an Empire. Nah have you considered a path of comedy 😭🥀🥀

[Richard Harding Davis @25H230NYJ]

🗓️ 28 May
⚔️ General Shafter ordered to mobilize U.S. troops in Tampa for the assault on Cuba.
America isn’t waiting—boots are coming.

[William Mckinley @25H230POTUS]

As president I understand the harsh conditions of Cuba, but another topic has arose, being Hawaii. I wish to call for the annexation of the Islands! Not only a great holiday but also an important asset to the American People and the Local Hawaiians 🙌

[Richard Harding Davis @25H230NYJ]

BREAKING: Hawaii on the horizon.
The U.S. House, backed by President McKinley, introduces a joint resolution for annexation of Hawaii.
Expansion? Or just the calm before the imperial storm?

@25H230SPMOD @25H230Senate @justahistprof Someone should consider this Human trafficking the way you sent men to be executed, in terms of American Ships Ripping Spanish ones to shreds.

[Richard Harding Davis @25H230NYJ]

23 April
President McKinley has called for 125,000 volunteers. The pen may be mighty, but today, America sharpens its swords.
The ranks will rise. History turns its eyes.
