1898
Spanish-American War era
1898 is a year in the late nineteenth century, notable for the Spanish-American War, which marked the United States' emergence as a global power.
The year saw Spain cede Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines.
In historical contexts, 1898 often serves as shorthand for American imperialism's beginnings: the generation of 1898, the war of 1898.
