Answer 1

Answer:

Spanish-American War

Explanation:

Hilary Parker suggests that the name "Dewey" was popularised in 1898 because of the Spanish- American War between Spain and the United States. People began naming their daughters after George Dewey (1837-1917) for his victory at the Battle of Manila Bay in the Spanish-American War. He lost only one crewman of the American side.
