| | USS Maine (ACR-1) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The theory that a mine, allegedly planted by the Spanish as a way to deter the efforts of the United States to take Cuba, is the assumption that most Americans came to immediately after the sinking, because it provided the stimulus for war that the U.S. had been quietly seeking. | | | Since the time of the explosion in 1898, many advocates stating that an internal explosion had sunk the Maine based their conclusion on the coal bunker fire theory. | | | A U.S. Naval Court of Inquiry arrived in Havana and began its investigation. |

| | Casco Bay Online: The U.S.S. Maine |
| | When the Maine exploded on the night of February 15, 1898, the press and the public blamed the sinking on Spain, and public and Congressional pressure led to a declaration of war. | | | Captain Sigsbee immediately concluded that the Maine had been blow up, as did the American press, and a naval investigation came to the same conclusion on March 15, stating that the damage had been caused by an unknown external source which had set off the powder magazines. | | | However, a recent work by Peggy and Harold Samuels argues that a homemade mine was planted and exploded by a group of Spanish fanatics who opposed Cuban independence. |
