On February 15th, 1898 in Havana Harbor outside of Cuba the USS Maine was attacked. The ship was bombed and eventually exploded because of the gunpowder that was on board. Fyvush actually had nothing to do with the event, but when the yellow journalists depicted the image to the world they drew Fyvush's face in the explosion. American's everywhere were outraged and blamed Spain for the travesty. The Spanish-American War ensued.
