Question

true or false. the teller amendment made it clear that the united states did not harbor imperialistic ambitions and would not acquire cuba. true false did spain maim the maine? explain. your answer what was the philippine - american war? a side - conflict of the spanish american war a war to make sure spain controlled the philippines a battle to sidetrack the united states and not pay attention to cuba none of the above

Explanation:

The Teller Amendment was a resolution passed by the U.S. Congress in 1898 before the Spanish - American War. It stated that the U.S. had no intention of annexing Cuba after the war. So, the first statement is correct.

For the second question, the sinking of the USS Maine was a major event that led to the Spanish - American War. However, there is no conclusive evidence that Spain "maimed" (sank) the Maine. Some theories suggest internal explosion, and Spain was blamed in a climate of war - mongering.

For the third question, the Philippine - American War was not a side - conflict of the Spanish - American War. It was a separate war that started after the U.S. acquired the Philippines from Spain (under the Treaty of Paris, 1898) and the Filipinos, who were fighting for independence, resisted U.S. rule. It was not about Spain controlling the Philippines or sidetracking the U.S. from Cuba.

Answer:

1. True
2. No, there is no conclusive evidence that Spain sank the Maine. Some suggest internal explosion, and the blame on Spain was due to war - mongering climate.
3. None of the above
