Synopsis
Excerpt from The Relations of the United States and Spain Diplomacy
This book is the outcome of a study of the causes of the war of 1898 between the United States and Spain. Beginning as a pre liminary chapter of the war, it was soon found that these causes were of such long growth and Of such intricate character that it was vain to hope to bring them into Short compass. The attempt at compression was abandoned and the book is thus an effort to bring before the reader the story of more than a hundred years of what has been really a racial strife; on the part of one race for actual domination over regions in which apparently it could not brook a division of rule; on the part of the other for the preserva tion of the status quo.
The late war was thus but the culmination of difficulties which had their seed in the peace of 1763. They sprung into life twenty years later with the advent on the world's stage of the American Union; remained in full vigor for half a century thereafter with scarcely an interval of repose, and waxed and waned for seventy five years more, until finally war came in 1898 to remove the last cause Of friction. Few Of the 115 years from 1783 to 1898 were free from bitterness of feeling. The war was thus but a final episode in a century Of diplomatic ill-feeling, sometimes dormant but more Often dangerously acute.

The Relations of the United States and Spain Diplomacy (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating account of the tumultuous diplomatic relations between the United States and Spain for more than a century. The narrative begins with Spain as a dominant power in the Western Hemisphere, but weakened by poverty and a foreign policy that was more concerned with protecting the status quo than expanding its empire. The book traces the development of the United States from its colonial roots through its difficult early years as an independent nation. The author highlights how these factors led to a constant state of friction between the two nations, with Spain fearing the expansion of the United States and the United States resentful of Spain's attempts to maintain control over the rich lands of the New World. The book provides a detailed examination of the causes of the war of 1898 and the events that led to the Spanish American War, which marked the end of Spain's colonial empire and the rise of the United States as a global power. The author's insights are invaluable for anyone seeking to understand this complex and fascinating period of history. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
