Sneak-peak Timeline Part 3: The end of the Century

Late 1898 to Early 1899: Spanish-American War

The U.S.S. Maine explodes in Havana Harbor. The US blames Spain and declares war, starting the Spanish-American War. The USA emerges as the victor, and Cuba, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines are ceded to America.

With a longer war with Spain, the US couldn't get involved in the Second Samoan Civil War(which is still going on because Britain and Germany are still fighting over the Samoan Islands).

Late 1899: America, wanting to be against Britain, starts aiding the Mata'afans along side Germany.

1900:

Second Samoan Civil War ends with a Compromise. The Soloman Islands are given to Britain, while the Samoan Islands are split between Germany and America.
