Which of the following was NOT a cause of the Spanish American War?

A. The Cuban Missle Crisis

B. Yellow Journalism

C. The Sinking of the Maine

D. American Sympathy for Cuba

The Cuban Missle Crisis was, one, during a different period of time than the Cuban missle crisis, and two, a different country. All of the other options are correct, though.

The Cuban Missile Crisis was NOT a cause of the Spanish American War because it did not occur until much later in history. However, yellow journalism, the sinking of the U. S. S. Maine off the coast of Havana, and American sympathy for the Cuban Revolution were causes of the Spanish American War.
