Nobody for sure knows who or why the USS Maine exploded.
Witness reports say that she blew up out of no where. The U.S & Cuba blamed Spain as the responsible one for destroying the battleship.Possible reasons for the explosion a the sinking of the USS Maine is a mechanical error or a fire in one of the coal bunkers. There was an error in the engine room the set of an explosion on the ship which led to a chain reaction and it continued until the front of the ship was dismantled.
