- The Battle of San Juan Hill, also known as the Battle for the San Juan Heights, was a major battle of the Spanish–American War fought between an American force under the command of William Rufus Shafter and Joseph Wheeler against a Spanish force led by Arsenio Linares y Pombo. The battle proved to be one of the most significant battles of the war and, along with the Siege of Santiago, a decisive battle in deciding the fate of the United States Army campaign in Cuba. The American forces, outnumbering the Spanish defenders 16-to-one, charged upon the heights and dispersed the Spanish after suffering heavy casualties. Tensions between Spain and the United States worsened over Spanish behavior during their efforts to quell the Cuban War of Independence, with many Americans being agitated by exaggerated reports of Spanish atrocities against the Cuban population. In January 1898, fearing the fate of American interests in Cuba due to the war, the cruiser USS Maine was dispatched to protect them. Less than a month later, the cruiser exploded while lying at anchor in Havana harbor, killing 261 sailors onboard and inflaming American opinion, with Spain being portrayed as the culprit in the American media without conclusive evidence. Two months later, war was declared. The Americans, after already landing troops in the Battle of Guantánamo Bay, moved inland to seek a decisive encounter with the Spanish forces. Both sides drew blood at the Battle of Las Guasimas, with the Spanish moving to defend the strategically valuable San Juan Heights from the Americans. A week later, a significantly larger American force, including the famed 'Rough Riders', moved to clear the heights of the Spanish. After enduring artillery fire which inflicted heavy casualties, the Americans charged up the hill and dispersed the Spanish, suffering even more heavily in the process. The fight for the heights proved to be the bloodiest and most famous battle of the war. The battle also proved to be the location of the "greatest victory" for the Rough Riders, as stated by the press and its new commander, Theodore Roosevelt, who eventually became vice president and later president of the United States, and who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 2001 for his actions in Cuba and became the only U.S. president to receive the award. The Americans won another engagement at El Caney the same day, with both battles highlighting the bravery and skill of the American/Cuban forces, as well as the Spanish defenders. Following the surrender of the Spanish army at Santiago, they agreed to depart Cuba, ending over four centuries of Spanish rule. (en)

- Pertempuran Bukit San Juan (1 Juli 1898), juga disebut sebagai Pertempuran Dataran Tinggi San Juan, adalah sebuah pertempuran dari Perang Spanyol-Amerika Serikat. Dataran tinggi San Juan terbentang dari utara ke selatan dengan jarak sekitar 2 kilometer (1,2 mi) dari timur Santiago de Cuba, Kuba. Nama Bukit San Juan dan Bukit Kettle diberikan kepada tempat tersebut oleh Amerika Serikat. Pertarungan di dataran tinggi tersebut merupakan pertempuran paling berdarah dan paling terkenal dari perang tersebut. Pertempuran tersebut juga merupakan "kemenangan terbesar" bagi , seperti yang dikatakan oleh pers dan panglima barunya, Theodore Roosevelt, yang kemudian menjadi wakil presiden dan kemudian presiden Amerika Serikat, dan secara anumerta dianugerahi Medal of Honor pada 2001 atas jasanya di Kuba.

- A Batalha de San Juan Hill, também conhecida como a batalha para o San Juan Heights, foi uma batalha decisiva da Guerra Hispano-Americana. A San Juan Heights foi uma elevação no sentido norte-sul, cerca de dois km a leste de Santiago de Cuba. Os nomes de San Juan Hill e Kettle Hill foram nomes dados pelos americanos. Esta luta para as heights foi a batalha mais sangrenta e mais famosa da Guerra. Ele também foi o local da maior vitória dos Rough Riders, como afirma a imprensa e seu novo comandante, o futuro vice-presidente e depois presidente, Theodore Roosevelt, que foi (postumamente) condecorado a Medalha de Honra, em 2001, por suas ações em Cuba. O que a imprensa americana do tempo esquecido é que os Buffalo Soldiers dos 10º e 24º regimentos de infantaria tinha realmente feito muito dos mais pesados combates. (pt)
