Spanish American War




This political cartoon is about the Spanish American War. I know because the dogs are labeled army and navy and the guys hat is labeled Spain. The cartoonist's message on this issue is that President Mckinley is going all out on spain with the army and navy. President Mckinley was going to do whatever to get Cuba. The opinions in America were positive because the way Spain was treating Cuba was horrible and Us was going to drive Spain out of Cuba. The opinions in Cuba were really good too because America would finally end the way Spain was treating them. One of the techniques the cartoonist used was labeling, I know because the dogs are labeled army and navy and the doghouse is labeled Tampa. Another technique the cartoonist used was symbolism because the army and navy are dogs.Yes this cartoon supports my opinion on imperialism because Us are driving the Spanish out from Cuba and that is what I want. Countries should have a way of expressing themselves in their own unique way.
