The Spanish American war was the war with the US, and Cuba against all of Spain. The war started with Cuba wanting its independence from Spain. Though Cuba did not have a strong military, the US came to Cuba's side and helped them gain their independence. Except when Cuba thought they had won their independence the US took control of Cuba.
The Political Cartoon shows Uncle Sam at a table in a restaurant and he is wondering what Country he could take over next. The cartoon shows symbolism, because it is the fact that Uncle Sam is in his US flag suit and is about to buy more countries. It also states Irony, because the restaurant he is in has the American flag hanging up and his server doesn't look happy to see the American figure at the restaurant.
