San Juan Hill

San Juan Hill was a significant battlefield during the Spanish-American War in 1898, located near Santiago, Cuba. It was a strategically important victory for U.S. forces, notably involving the rough riders led by Theodore Roosevelt. The battle was marked by intense fighting over rugged terrain, and its capture helped the U.S. gain control of Santiago Harbor, paving the way for the end of Spanish rule in Cuba. Today, San Juan Hill is remembered as a symbol of American military efforts and victory during that conflict.
