question 2 of 10
in battles in the philippines and puerto rico, american forces were joined by:

a. newspaper publishers.

b. rebels of the native countries.

c. newspaper journalists.

d. spanish landowners.

Explanation:

During the Spanish - American War, in battles in the Philippines and Puerto Rico, American forces were joined by rebels from these native countries who were also fighting against Spanish rule. Newspaper publishers and journalists were more involved in promoting the war (yellow journalism) rather than fighting, and Spanish landowners were part of the Spanish - controlled establishment, so they would not join American forces.

Answer:

B. Rebels of the native countries.
