Why was the uss maine sent to cuba in 1898? (a.) it was intended to provide military support for cuban rebels. (b.) it was sent to bring diplomats to cuba to end the cuban revolution. (c.) it was intended to protect american citizens who were in danger in the cuban revolution. (d.) it was bringing medical supplies and food to both cuban and spanish troops.

The correct answer is:

(C.) It was intended to protect American citizens who were in danger in the Cuban Revolution.

During the Cuban revolt against Spain in January 1898, the USS Maine (ACR-1) was sent to the Havana harbor, partially as a conciliatory gesture to the Spanish authorities there and especially to protect the lives and property of American citizens presumably endangered by recent riots. Without warning, the USS Maine exploded and sank quickly, killing nearly three-quarters of her crew.
