How did Americans picture Spanish rule in Cuba and the American war against Spain?
What will be an ideal response?
Americans' views of Spanish rule in Cuba were shaped primarily by the yellow press, tabloid journals and newspapers that printed lurid, sensational stories to capture the public's interest and increase sales. This yellow press printed atrocity stories from Cuban exiles living in America about the horrors perpetrated by the Spanish. Combined with shocking images, these stories shaped Americans' picture of Spanish rule as savage and brutal oppression of the Cuban people.
