Council on Foreign Relations 65d ago

How did the Spanish-American War shape the future of U.S. foreign policy? “The American war against Spain and the annexation of the Philippines signaled to the world that there’s this new kid on the block: the Unites States of America, that is beginning to basically grow into its own strength,” says H.W. Brands, the chair of history at the University of Texas at Austin. Brands joined James M. Lindsay on The President’s Inbox podcast to discuss the causes, key events, and consequences of the Spanish-American War, highlighting how it shaped U.S. foreign policy into the modern era.
