Crucible of Empire: The Spanish-American War*
- 1999 ----- color ----- 115 min ----- vhs
- This was the war that moved the United States to center stage as a world power. Victorious over Spain in Cuba and the Philippines, the United States, a nation founded in opposition to imperialism, grappled with its new role as an imperial power. Examines the colorful characters and historic events surround this 100-year old war and its relevance throughout the 20th century. Using reenactments, interviews with noted authors and popular historians, it looks at the influence of race, economics, new technologies, and the news media on America's decision to go to war. Filmed in Cuba and the Philippines, the story of the war is told from all perspectives, not just the American side.
