What I know about the Spanish American War can be rattled off in about a exiguous — Remember the Maine! Rough Riders, Guam, Cuba, Puerto Rico and he Philippines. This respectable PBS presentation begins to have in the rest. Using interviews with historians (including Stephen Ambrose and Daniel Brinkley) from America, Cuba and the Philippines, interspersed with period sheet music (”We have remembered the Maine, The Admiral Dewey March) and archival footage, “Crucible of Empire” tells the myth of a young and brash post-Civil War America ready to flex its adolescent muscle against a extinct opponent. The gargantuan characters are here — Teddy Roosevelt, William McKinley, William Randolph Hearst, but also the ignored Cuban and Philipino insurgents, like General Maximo Gomez and Emilio Aguinaldo. The first half of the explain seemed as though it would pooh-pooh the black side of the war, but PBS chose to more or less follow the changing mood of America itself towards its conquests — from war fever to disillusionment. By the raze of the film, the viewer begins to glance the war — with its racism, paternalism, undemocratic underpinnings, one-sided atrocities and the betrayal of the nationalistic aspirations of native-born people — as the repugnant tiny affair that it was. An epilogue brings the anecdote to the note day, through independence, world war and revolution.

My guess is that many of us Americans remember the Civil War and the World Wars, but many of us may have forgotten a war from approximately 110 years ago. We know of Fidel, but some do not know about American dynamics regarding Cuba before him. As the US is currently in a foreign war, this documentary reminds the viewer of another foreign war and perhaps we can learn lessons or earn connections between the two.

This work had diverse interviewees: men and women, Americans and foreigners, Blacks, whites, Latinos, and Asians. What cramped that I read of “Fighting for American Manhood” was very strong and informative, so I was ecstatic to notice its author, Dr. K, Hoganson, interviewed for this work.

This work may be ample for African-American Studies classes as well. The US sent Blacks to Cuba thinking they could deal with tropical environments better. Fair like in the Vietnam War, Unlit and white soldiers were fighting each other unbiased as mighty as with the foreign opponent. Shadowy newspapers, unbiased like in World War II, asked, “Why should we fight injustic abroad when no one is helping us perceive justice here? ” The stupidest thing is that many Americans of the majority background had no view how many Cubans were Dim.
