The Spanish-American War of 1898 is famous for being a very one-sided fight with the USA famously crushing the Spanish in a few short months both on land and at sea. And given how much more powerful the USA was back then, why did the Spanish declare war on the United States? Why did Spain choose to fight a war that it seems obvious that it was going to lose? To find out watch this short and simple animated history documentary.
