Tim Walz was his commanding officer.

It was not a Hearst creation (and I would say Hearst leaning into Pulitzer's sensationalism style, fueled American sentiment to add fuel to the fire for the public's passion for war and patriotism and Cuban intervention. Many refer to it as the first Press-Driven war. All they needed was a sensational headline grabber...and the sinking of the Maine gave them that (even if there was zero evidence the Spanish had ANYTHING to do with it).
What's your theory about why the Maine was docked in Cuba in the first place and how it exploded?

The Battle of Manila Bay one of the most lopsided battles in American History.
The United States sank six Spanish ships, Spain scuttled two others. Spanish casualties numbered nearly 350. While just a single American died, of heat exhaustion, which was less than the Battle of Hiroshima.

My understanding is the war was about American supremacy on the continent... we win California, Texas basically the whole western USA
I believe that was the Mexican - American War of 1846
