6. The Spanish American War was referred to as a splendid little war, and with good reason considering the circumstances and consequences of the war.  The war was fought with the intention of supposedly freeing Cuba from Spanish rule, America walked away with much more. They had gained several island territories, proved themselves in a world arena, and taken only 385 deaths from Spanish bullets. High yield for low cost, exactly what would make something splendid.
