The Spanish-American War took place in the year 1898. Therefore, it occurred in the decade of the 1890s. Since decades are often represented by the last digit of the decade's year, the 1890s would be represented by the number 8. However, none of the provided options (22, 33, 44, 5) directly corresponds to a decade ending in 0, which would typically be used.
If we are to interpret the question creatively or metaphorically regarding your options (although they don't correspond directly to actual decades), the closest numerical representation of the 1890s could be thought of as "the 90s," which does not match the answers given.
If you're asking about a conceptual representation of decades, please clarify or provide additional context for the choices offered, as none match the exact decade of the Spanish-American War based on common historical interpretations.
