It was called a Splendid Little War because when the USS Maine was destroyed the US went to war with Spain. The war only lasted 100 days and only 460 soldiers were killed.. they gained Guam, Puerto Rico, the Phillipines, and Cuba. It was a short war and the US gained a lot of territory and then they became a World Power.
