    The correct answers are A) by writing sensational headlines. D) by relying mostly on unnamed sources. E) by printing rumors as if they were facts.

    Journalists used yellow journalism to encourage the United States to go to war with Spain in the following ways: by writing sensational headlines, by relying mostly on unnamed sources, and by printing rumors as if they were facts.

    The Cuban movement of Independence was one of the factors that provoked the Spanish-America War of 1898. The Spanish Army repression of the Cuban rebellion was covered by sensationalists or yellow Journalists in the newspapers of the United States, causing the people's reaction and indignity, and the support for the Cubans. On April 24, 1898, Spain declared war on the United States. The US did the same the next day.

    Option A. By writing sensational headlines is the right answer

    Explanation:

    The impact of Public opinion created due to Yellow journalism was as large that it compelled America to stand against Spain.

    One important factor which paved way for America to wage war against Spain was the practice of Yellow Journalism. Editors of journals and newspapers were so biased that they started to print catchy and sensational Headlines in order to gain the attention of the public.

    The headlines were capitalized and the public who have the habit of skimming the newspapers were swayed away by such capitalized fonts thinking that the news which was published was true and started to raise their voice against Spain. The public clamored to go on war against Spain.
