Excerpt from History Up to Date: A Concise Account of the War of 1898 Between the United States and Spain, Its Causes and the Treaty of ParisThis war, it is true, resulted in Spain being driven from the vicinity of the Americas and in the rich Philippine Islands being wrested from her grasp, but these results are mere incidents to the real outcome of the war. The war found the United States of America a thriving young republic, a healthy boy who had never been away from home, the war left the young republic one of the great powers of the world, a full-grown man gone forth in search for adventures.The importance that the events of 1898 must necessarily have on the future history of the world is more than sufficient excuse for offering this book to the public. The colonial policy of the United States, the American in¿uence in the far East, the drawing together of the two great anglo-saxon nations, Great Britain and the United States, must henceforth be leading topics in politics, literature, statesmanship.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
