<p>This paper has two related goals: (1) to examine the impact of crisis, in general, and stress, in particular, on certain aspects of foreign policy-making; and, (2) to understand the motivations underlying the actions of American decision-makers within the political environment of 1898. The data is derived through a content analysis of documents written by certain "key" American decision- makers during the sixteen weeks prior to the outbreak of the Spanish American war in 1898.</p> / Master of Arts (MA)
