On February 15, 1898, the USS Maine exploded in the Havana Harbor. Although there was no evidence that the Spanish were responsible, the easily influenced President McKinley declared war, sending troops to both Cuba and the Philippines. Thomas reveals that the hunger for war had begun years earlier.
