Correct. Which is why so many theorized that the Maine was actually
change, if even one little event was altered somewhere along the time-line.
So, at the time of occurance an event (like the sinking of the Maine) may
seem relatively obscure to the rest of the world as a whole, but as the
series of other connected events follows, profound changes in the time-line
can occur. I think the Japanese Shinto religion calls this the "Wings of
the Butterfly" effect...a minor event that puts in place a series of events
that makes big changes down the road...interesting, but probably a little
esoteric for this group! lol

blown up by the US itself. It was so obvious that the US was looking
for a reason for war that the sinking seemed to be a little too
coincidental. I think that theory has been put to rest just as a
deliberate Spanish action has been, but the point remains that if it
wasn't the Maine it would have been something else. Many of the wars
