Cold War 278 - Rough Riders, Buffalo Soldiers
Manage episode 462273704 series 3382624
So in January of 1898, the Cubans were on the verge of victory in their battle for independence against Spain. And while the US government was happy to see Spain out of the picture, they had no intention of allowing Cuba to be independent.

The newly elected President, William McKinley, wanted to take Cuba without war if possible. But some, like future President Teddy Roosevelt, couldn't wait to turn it into a war.
