The sinking of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898 was a key event that fueled public and political pressure in the U.S., leading to the declaration of war against Spain. The Pancho Villa raids occurred later (1916-1917), the sinking of the Lusitania was in 1915 during WWI, and Mexican independence was declared in 1810, unrelated to the 1898 Spanish-American War.
