Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the War With Spain The period in Spanish history that we realise most easily and most vividly illustrates the period that we may never have realised at all - the dim, the remote part of it, the dawn of it, the beginning of the whole story. We know very well what Spaniards of the sixteenth century thought of the Western Hemisphere: their land of mystery, enchantment, adventure, and, above all, their source of the precious metals. Well, three thousand years earlier, the nations inhabiting the eastern shores of the Mediterranean entertained similar views in regard to Spain. It was the land of brightest colours and the most ardent land: the sun went down into it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Spanish-American War of 1898 Much has been published on the brief but in teresting and very important war of 1898 between the United States and Spain; but practically every thing that has appeared belongs to one of two classes. On the one hand, there are the narratives of sailors, soldiers, and correspondents who took part in it, and who describe what they saw. These books are not history, though many of them are excellent ma terial for history. On the other hand, there are records of a more general character, most of which are hasty compilations of little value. The con temporary accounts oi the war were very inaccurate and imperfect; it was not until some time later that there was a sufficient body of trustworthy evidence to make it possible to write anything like a real history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War of Spain: A Complete History of the War of 1898 Between the United States and Spain The true mission of the United States may be held to be peace, not war; production, not destruction; industry, not rapine. But even to the most peacefully inclined of nations occasions come which irresistibly demand that the sword shall be drawn and blows be struck, and through one of these periods of violence this country has just passed. It has had to deal with a nation not yet in the nineteenth century, a belated relic of the mediaeval age, and has found it necessary to employ forcible methods. War is an evil, but there are greater evils only to be met by war, national diseases which only the strongest remedies can cure. 'Spain's colonial system has been such a disease, one with which only heroic treatment would avail. It has been a system of despotism and enslavement, of the suppression of insurrection by massacre and starvation, and of obstinate adherence to methods long since outlived by other civilized nations. The state of affairs had grown intolerable when the United States took up the sword for the relief of a starving and perishing people, and began a war based upon the highest of motives, that of humane sympathy and the succor of the oppressed. This country has been accused of a selfish greed for the territory of Spain; but it may be safely said that no purpose of territorial aggrandizement was among the motives that inspired the war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young People's History of the War With Spain The brief war between the United States and Spain was the outgrowth of the humanity of the American people and their love of fair play. They did not stand idly by when Spain was literally starving the people of Cuba into subjection to her will, but freely and generously sent food, medicine and clothing to the sufferers. When Spain's cruelty to the Cubans became intolerable to the civilized world, the United States intervened in the name of humanity and right, and demanded that the oppression should cease. Spain resented this, and the war followed. Much has been said and written regarding our conduct of the war, and the grave scandals that arose from it: but it is not the purpose of this volume to discuss these other than to say that, the work of the navy was clean and beyond question, while it is clear to every one that there was gross mismanagement on the part of army officials.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Recent War With Spain: From an Historical Point of View In discussing the historical significance of the recent war with Spain, I am conscious of the difficulties in the way of reaching satisfactory judgments concerning great events that lie partly in the experience of the immediate past. We know less about this conflict than the scholars of the next generation will know. Its significance, like the significance of any important contemporary social movement, is not yet unfolded, and consequently no man may read it. Whatever judgment is rendered to-day touching the late war between the United States and Spain is only such a judgment as may be revealed by the light of the history of these two nations; and in this light the struggle appears as a phase of the centuries-old conflict that has arisen from antagonistic national qualities and divergent national policies. This English and Spanish rivalry has sometimes led to brilliant and romantic exploits, but oftener it has held the two peoples in a state of mutual indifference and contempt. Though sometimes latent, this antagonism has never been subdued in either party. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The situation was inexorable. It was either ruthlessly to beat down, or be ignominiously humiliated. When nations can do nothing they can fight, and fight we did. And so did the Spaniard. But centuries of moral poison, percolating through the veins of the body politic of Spain, had done their work. The obso lete Spaniard was no match for the alert and enterprising American. The war was quickly over. It might not have been so quickly over in the case of Germany and France; but its end would have been the same. Spain has no reason to be ashamed of her part in it. Through out the United States, at least, the Spanish character stands higher to-day than it did before the war, though the Spaniards have Admirals Montejo and Cervera and General Toral to thank for the maintenance of the national credit.

Woodford, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Spain. T is an honor which I deeply appreciate to be asked to write these introductory words to such a noteworthy col lection of papers as this volume contains. The island of Cuba suffered during many years from unrest, disorder and civil war. For about half the time between 1868 and 1898 it was the theatre of struggles which wasted its resources and destroyed nearly one quarter of its population. So continuous had been these struggles and so dreadful their results that in our last Presidential canvass both our great political parties practically pledged themselves to such action by our Government as should restore order and compel peace in Cuba. Spain was three thousand miles distant and Cuba was less than one hundred miles from our coast. The burden and the duty of humanity were upon us, and our people of all sections and all parties recognized this duty and accepted this burden.
