"España y los Estados Unidos de Norte América: a propósito de la guerra" by Agustín Aragón is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work examines the political and moral implications of the war between Spain and the United States, particularly in the context of Cuba's insurrection and the resultant American intervention. Aragón presents a critical perspective on Anglo-American motives and positions Spain's actions within a broader moral and legal framework. At the start of the text, Aragón addresses the global interest in the conflict sparked by American involvement in Cuban affairs. He criticizes prevailing interpretations that overlook historical and philosophical precedents regarding non-interference in the internal matters of nations. The opening portion sets the tone for a detailed analysis of the war's causes, focusing on the legitimacy of Spain's response and the moral implications of American intervention, alongside a critique of the political dynamics at play in his era. Aragón stresses the importance of examining the situation free from partisan bias, standing firmly on what he claims are positive facts to substantiate his arguments.
