What two events led amricans to call for war agunst spain

Pressure from American merchants, fueled by yellow journalism, impelled the American government to seek a swift end to the Cuban War of Independence, eventually leading the country to war. America's victory brought the country numerous territorial acquisitions and dealt a huge blow to the psyche of the fading Spanish Empire. 

The Spanish/Mexicans used to own the southwest region of the present-day United States and present-day Mexico. The Americans, however, dreamed of having the United States stretch from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean (the United States used to be only the states in the ease). In order to achieve that dream, the Americans had to get hold of the southwest region. Then the war began 

If you want to know how the war endedThe Americans and Spanish/Mexican signed a treaty. After that treaty was signed, the Americans received the southwest region and the Spanish/Mexicans only kept Mexico. 

So.. the six events are: 
1) Spanish/Mexicans own southwest region of the present-day US. 
2) Americans dream of having United States stretch from ocean to ocean. 
3) Americans' dream grows stronger and more desperate. 
4) Spanish/Mexicans refuse to hand over land. 
5) Americans grow angry. 
6) The war begins
