The battle off the coast of San Diego ended in a crushing defeat for the United States. When the news came out, countries around the world were in an uproar. All countries are paying great attention to this decisive battle between the navies of the United States and Spain.

Newspapers of various countries commented on the outcome of this decisive naval battle between the United States and the West.

The French newspaper Le Figaro commented; The emerging U.S. government was too eager to show its maritime interests, and it couldn't wait to play before it was ready, so it was knocked out by the old Spain. Perhaps the U.S. government needs to rethink whether its urgent external expansion is justified.

For this reason, Le Figaro also drew a cartoon of President McKinley, dressed in an American flag uniform, holding a model of a battleship in his hand, and being knocked to the ground with a stick by Prime Minister Castillo wearing a Spanish large-brimmed hat.

France's cynicism about the United States, of course, is still a matter of interest, and the United States has been trying to wrest the right to dig canals in Panama from the French in recent years. Various methods were used for this purpose, such as the use of the Panama Railway, the charging of high prices for the transportation of materials for the construction of the canal, and even the suspension of the operation for various reasons.

France knew this, but because of its lack of strength in the Americas, it had to endure it in silence. It's hard to see Americans eating deflated, can they laugh unpleasantly?

In addition to France, the British Empire, which was unusually concerned about the United States, was also reported. The Times commented just after the news of America's defeat in the war. The defeat of the United States in this naval battle is actually a huge blow, but the most important thing for the United States at present is to quickly negotiate peace with Spain, because if the Spanish fleet recovers, then the second shelling of New York is very likely.

Don't think that the Times cares about the United States, in essence, it is just trying to keep Americans from stepping down. Because the Times suggested that this was the best option for the United States. If the United States chooses to do so, then there is another story. Look at the smart Americans who have embraced the Times' advice, which can also boost the newspaper's sales and sales.

Of course, the naval battle was reported by other countries, but in general, the defeat of the United States was unexpected.

Of course, for this naval battle, other countries can be regarded as lively, but for the two countries concerned, this is a matter of interests.

So when the news of the defeat of the sortie fleet and the death of Rear Admiral Samplin reached the United States, a fierce condemnation began. The disastrous defeat of the warship, which cost a lot of money, is not satisfied with this, and the American capital is not satisfied. Since dissatisfaction requires someone to come out and give an explanation, and there is no one more suitable person than Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt.

In the face of the unanimous call for Roosevelt's resignation, the U.S. government had no choice but to comply, so on the third day after the defeat in the naval battle, Theodore Roosevelt announced his resignation as Secretary of the Navy.

But some people who can become great people must have their own unique characteristics, and this Mr. Theodore Roosevelt is one of them.

On the occasion of his resignation speech, Theodore Roosevelt made a big announcement, according to him, that the defeat of the American naval war was the secret help of Spain from a malicious country. The reporters present at the time thought that when this person wanted to talk about the Italian sale of warships, this one directly said that it was the British who made it bad.

It was the British who secretly provided Bermuda for the Spanish fleet to use, and also provided various supplies of coal, for which the British warships also prevented American warships from patrolling the surroundings, and at the same time provided maps of our country's defense and hydrographic charts (crooked), and provided advice to the Spanish fleet, and so on.

Anyway, in the mouth of Theodore Roosevelt, the Spanish fleet was able to appear on the east coast because the British were hiding behind their backs.

Theodore Roosevelt's revelations not only satisfied the reporters, but also made the American people angry, and they surrounded the British embassy without waiting for the British ambassador to come out to defend themselves, throwing eggs, vegetable leaves, and other items at him. There were even radical people who wanted to storm the embassy, but fortunately, the U.S. government was still sane and sent military police to protect its embassy.

Theodore Roosevelt had a brilliant move, and the anger of the Americans shifted from him to the British. Anyway, this was not a wrongful thing to the British, who knew that the Spanish fleet could go to the east coast to attack, but it was transited through Bermuda.

Well, the dislike of the British on the part of the Americans can be deepened.

The defeated Americans denounced the British Empire with passion, while the victorious Spain sang and danced happily. The Spanish naval victory was heavily reported in the Spanish newspapers, especially the commander of the naval battle, Vice Admiral Cedera, who described the new era as Álvaro de Bazán (commander of the Armada and the most capable admiral in Spanish history, who died before the British expedition), and led the Spanish Armada of the new century.

Of course, for the mercenaries from Italy in the fleet, the newspaper still mentioned in passing, thanks to the seafarers hired from Italy.

Well, the self-aggrandizement of the Spaniards, fortunately, does not include the top of the government. Because the Madrid government knows that this war has been fought until now, and the Spanish treasury can run rats again.

True, Spain ran out of money, so after hearing the news of the victory, Prime Minister Castillo burst into tears of joy with joy.

Well, it didn't take long for Spain to wait, and the news that the United States wanted peace talks came.

That's right, since this naval battle was lost, then the hope of capturing Cuba is gone, why not discuss peace, why stay and wait for the Spanish fleet to plunder the east coast again?

Well, at least at this time, the U.S. government has no psychological baggage about victory or defeat, and can afford to let it go. In fact, this is also something that cannot be helped, after the defeat of the naval war, the American capitalists have been asking for peace talks, because affected by the defeat of the naval war, the American maritime transportation industry fell into the Great Depression, no one wants to go to sea at this time, no matter how much money is not enough.

Therefore, it was only after recognizing the facts and at the urging of domestic capitalists that the United States put forward a request for peace talks.

In the face of the United States' request for peace talks, Spain naturally couldn't ask for it, and chose to agree without much reserve.

The two sides immediately chose to hold peace talks in Paris, and the European countries were very concerned about the peace talks between the United States and Spain, and they tried to participate in it, but they were directly rejected by the two countries.

As for the peace talks between the United States and Spain, when other countries wanted to get involved, Italy, which was qualified, instead got out and left. Because Italy has already fulfilled its mission, there is no need to show itself at this time.
