Accepted Answer

### Question 6
# Brief Explanations:
In 1898, the USS Maine was sent to Havana to evacuate Americans if needed due to the Cuban rebellion against Spain. Option A is incorrect as the US wasn't there to put down the Cuban rebellion. Option B is wrong as they weren't negotiating peace with Spain. Option D is incorrect as there were no Spanish loyalist riots to put down. So the correct reason aligns with option C.
# Answer:
C. evacuate Americans if necessary.

### Question 7
# Brief Explanations:
When the USS Maine exploded, many Americans blamed Spain (due to yellow journalism and tensions with Spain over Cuba). Cuba (A) was in rebellion against Spain, Japan (B) was not involved, and the Philippines (C) were a Spanish colony but not related to the Maine's explosion. So Spain (D) was blamed.
# Answer:
D. Spain

### Question 8
# Brief Explanations:
President McKinley asked Congress to authorize force to end the conflict in Cuba (the Cuban - Spanish conflict). Mexico (A), Colombia (C), and the Philippines (D) were not the location of the conflict he was addressing (the main conflict was in Cuba).
# Answer:
B. Cuba.

### Question 9
# Brief Explanations:
Under the Treaty of Paris (1898), the US acquired Puerto Rico and Guam (A). Hawaii (B) was annexed later, the Bahamas (C) were not acquired, and Panama (D) was not part of this treaty's acquisitions.
# Answer:
A. Guam.

### Question 10
# Brief Explanations:
The Platt Amendment made Cuba an American protectorate (A). A colony (B) implies direct rule, Cuba wasn't a territory (C) in the same sense, and it wasn't a state (D) as it was an independent nation under US influence.
# Answer:
A. protectorate.
