The sinking of USS Maine

In 1898, war broke out between the United States and Spain. The cause of the conflict was the United States' efforts to consolidate its positions in Central America and the Pacific. They wanted to push the Spaniards out of Cuba and the Philippines. In 1895, an uprising against the Spaniards broke out in Cuba. Three years later, the United States sent the battleship MAINE to Havana. On February 15, 1898, an explosion occurred in its ammunition depots for unknown reasons. MAINE also sank with 260 crew members.

The Spratley Islands dispute

The conflict over the Spratley Islands in the South China Sea poses a potential threat to the region as a whole. About 44 of the 51 islands are just corals overgrown above sea level. China considers these to be part of its territory. Some islands are also occupied by Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei. The conflict is actually the result of decades of efforts to control rich deposits of minerals - mainly oil, natural gas, as well as fishing and hunting for other marine animals such as crabs, calamari and shrimp.
