Step-by-step explanation:

America supported struggling Filipinos and Cubans against Spanish rule. This was also caused by the mysterious explosion of USS Maine in Havana harbor. The US basically wanted to start an empire, so it captured Guam and Philippines. The Spanish were not able to control the Cubans and they began to rebel.
