Why did Spain fumble so fucking hard during the Spanish - American war?
I'm aware Spain was way past it's prime and America was a rising world power, but still...

Who care the first Admiral of the American navy was a non American Spanish bvll and he killed way more confederate chuds amerimutts like yourself than Spaniards died in this conflict. Which btw was largely won by Cubans and Filipinos, like in 14-18 the American just came in at time to rip all the glory. Also your country is barely 40% white and your mom suck dick and your president is Jewish. Faggot.

Spain NEVER fully recovered after the Napoleonic Wars. The country was fucked beyond repair.

US had the population of Spain x 6
The war was in the Caribbean Sea and Asia, not in Europe
Spanish elites were corrupt and inept as fuck
Must be said that the Spanish army was willing to fight until the end, so it was more a thing of lack of will from Spanish rulers. Lovecraft, who wanted to join the war, quite respected that "military passional?" trait of Spanish soldiers in Cuba and Philippines.

Name me ONE single black or Native American person who made it to four star Admiral before the year 2000

Spain fumbled during the Spanish-American War because it was caught in a twilight state of decline... overextended, outdated strategies, and internal strife made them vulnerable. While they clung to colonial glory, their military was outdated and poorly managed, struggling against an invigorated and modern U.S. force that capitalized on technology and momentum. Spain was also plagued by bureaucratic inefficiency, corruption, and lack of public support, rendering them ill-equipped to defend their dwindling empire. Ultimately, it was a clash between a fading power clinging to its past and a nation hungry for assertiveness and expansion, revealing the harsh reality of imperial decline.

They were an exhausted race by then, hell by most accounts their civil war was more or less decided by a combination of foreign volunteers for the Republicans and Moroccan mercenaries and German/Italian "advisors" for the Nationalists.

Are you sure? Did the French just arbitrarily decide to wade into a colonial conflict that another European power was struggling to conclude because they were bored?

I saw a fringe interview of a Spaniard who even called it a fake civil war.
