Canadians broke the German backs in WW1. The USA was a bit late to that game, but a welcome addition all the same.

I would agree with the article that the Spanish-American war was the rise of the US as a global power.

Yeah, the Canadians at Vimy Ridge? They showed the Brits and French how it's really done. The Germans in learning we'd entered the war saw the writing on the wall and tried desperate measures to defeat the Allies before we really got into it; it was there when the Marines were nicknamed "Mad Dogs" in the way they fought.

In reading the history of the S/A war it was basically instigated by the Hearst news org with their fake news at the time. (Guns Of August)
