which of these actions by the spanish fed the \yellow journalists\ of the american press, enabling these american newspapers to whip up public support for a war against spain? select all that apply.
□ putting cubans into concentration camps
□ refusing to grant cubans full independence
□ allowing spanish conquistadors to enslave the cuban population, similar to how columbus had treated native populations four hundred years earlier
□ insulting president mckinley, calling him weak.

Explanation:

Yellow journalism focused on sensational, emotionally charged stories to rally public support for U.S. intervention in Cuba. Spanish actions that were framed as brutal or oppressive were key to this. Putting Cubans in concentration camps was a widely reported, harsh measure that outraged Americans. Refusing Cuban independence was a core grievance that fueled calls for U.S. support for Cuban rebels. The enslavement reference is anachronistic (Spanish conquistador-era actions were not the immediate context), and insulting McKinley was a criticism of the U.S. president, not a Spanish action relevant to this cause.

Answer:

• Putting Cubans into concentration camps
• Refusing to grant Cubans full independence
