I remember a visit to museum in Mobile Alabama. I saw an exhibit on the U.S:S Maine, a navy battleship that exploded in that city´s harbor in 1898. The exhibit included recovered items from the wreckage that included souvenirs from a prior stop over in Havana Cuba. What would have happened if that explosion and massive loss of American lives had taken place in that then Spanish port at time that Spain was fighting Cuban rebels and winning much negative publicity in the states. Would the American public have blamed Spain? How would that have hurt the already tense state of U.S. Spanish relations.?
