SPANISH NAVY

In the middle of the nineteenth century Spain had a reasonably sized navy to protect its overseas colonies. Spain was one of a few smaller navies who built broadside ironclads,, mostly being converted form older wooden frigates,. The Spanish navy was involved in the 1864 to 1866 war against Peru and Chile and also another major event was the 1968 Cadiz Mutiny.   In 1898 the USS Maine blew up in Havana Harbour, although not sabotaged by the Spanish, this incident gave the American the cause to declare  war on Spain and Cuba. During the Battle of  Manila Bay and Santiago the Spanish navy was nearly entirely destroyed.  This loss of sea power ultimately played its part in the loss of the Spanish Colonies, including The Philippines and Cuba.  After this crushing defeat there was no, enthusiasm to re build a strong Navy. and even the ships in the process of building were delayed before being completed.
