The Spanish-American War was fought in 1898, after the USS Maine exploded in the Havana harbor of Cuba.  The USA blamed Spain for the explosion, though that has not been verified.  The main issue of the war was the independence of Cuba from Spanish dominance.

Earlier in July, 1898, the US Navy had won the last major naval confrontation of the war, at the Battle of Santiago.  The siege of the city of Santiago itself followed, from July 3-17.  At the end of the siege, both the US and Spanish government agreed to  terms of "capitulation" (avoiding the term "surrender," though that's what it was).  Spanish troops exited Santiago on July 17.

the transatlantic slave trade radically impaired africa's potential to develop economically and maintain its social and political stability. the arrival of europeans on the west african coast and their establishment of slave ports in various parts of the continent triggered a continuous process of exploitation of africa's human resources, labor, and commodities. this exploitative commerce influenced the african political and religious aristocracies, the warrior classes and the biracial elite, who made small gains from the slave trade, to participate in the oppression of their own people. the europeans, on the other hand, greatly benefited from the atlantic trade, since it allowed them to amass the raw materials that fed the industrial revolution to the detriment of african societies whose capacity to transform their modes of production into a viable entrepreneurial economy was severely halted.
