hardAbout This Puzzle
This Spanish-American War word search is the 1898 conflict page in the U.S. history war cluster. It focuses on Cuba, the USS Maine, the Rough Riders, Manila, and treaty-era expansion vocabulary, which makes it much more specific than the generic War page.
Because the word bank also points toward overseas expansion and media influence, it works well for history units that connect war to American imperialism.
