The Spanish American war started primarily because : the Hawaiian navy attacked Washington d.c., of tremendous pressure to defend u.s. interests in Cuba, a revolution broke out in China or Russia installed offensive missiles?

Answer 1

The primary reason the Spanish-American War started was the tremendous pressure to defend U.S. interests in Cuba. The war was fueled by various factors, including economic interests in Cuban sugar and the desire to support Cuban independence from Spanish colonial rule. Events such as the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor and sensationalist journalism (often referred to as "yellow journalism") also played significant roles in galvanizing public support for the war. The other options mentioned (Hawaiian navy, revolution in China, and Russian missiles) are not relevant to the causes of the Spanish-American War.
