Hint:War is denoted to a series of conflict and fight against two different minds, governments or states. It is generally related to the killing of people and is characterized by extreme violence and aggression. The first world war was a global war which was fought between Central power and the Allies power.

Complete answer:
The Last Sunset of Maine is a caption of a painting that shows a ship of battle exploded. The ship in the painting is deployed to protect the American interests. On 25th April, 1898 the United State of America declared war on Spain, followed by the battleship of Maine in Havana harbor on February 15, 1898.
The colonial rule of the Spanish was out-ragged and it was blamed by the Americans which resulted in the demand of the withdrawal of Spain from Cuba and imposed a naval blockade of the island of Spain.The result of the War took both the countries into a new renaissance.Mexican war is believed to have ended in the year 1848.The war of 1812 ended in february 1815.In 1917, we had seen the official entry of the US in world war 1.The US entered the second world war in 1941.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Note:The Spanish-American war was the most significant turning point in the history of both the countries. The USA became the world’s most powerful nation and played a very dominant role in every sphere of international matters’.
