In this early 20th century American cartoon, we witness Uncle Sam, a symbol of the United States, towing battleships towards Cuba.

The maritime theme is evident through the prominent presence of battle ships and their association with warfare. The cartoon highlights the significant role played by naval forces during this conflict. It also reflects America's growing influence as a global power in the late 19th century. The men depicted in this artwork represent both Spanish and American soldiers engaged in battle. Their presence emphasizes how political acts can lead to armed conflicts between nations. Furthermore, this image holds historical importance as it captures an era when Latin America was experiencing intense political changes while struggling for independence from colonial powers like Spain.
