The Politics & Issues Of The Spanish American War
The Politics & Issues Of The Spanish American War
BROOKFIELD â On Monday, April 18, at 7:30 pm, Brookfield Historical Society, as part of its American Military Forum series, will host a multimedia presentation by Peter Cronin on the Spanish American War.
Mr Cronin, a longtime student of military history, will talk about the politics and issues that led up to the war that was fought between the Kingdom of Spain and the United States. He will show how it sounded the death knell for one European empire and at the same time set the stage for the entrance of a new young nation to emerge in the Western Hemisphere. The program will also cover the battles that ensued during this brief conflict and the Treaty of Paris ending the war.
The program will be at the historical societyâs museum, 165 Whisconier Road (intersection of Routes 25 and 133 in Brookfield Center).
Admission is free and light refreshments will be served following the presentation.
