This article attempts to evaluate historically the result of the Spanish-American War in two contexts. One is in the history of Spain and the other is in the historical course of deterioration of the Old World.In the first context this article tries to calculate the financial burden due to the Paris Peace Conference held by the two nations and to study how unfavorable effects the burden had on the subsequent economic course of Spain. In the second one this article attempts to prove, by analyzing financial policy, rules and practices of wartime Spain, the assumption that Spanish style of thinking and form of behavior had been based on the order of the Old World. If the assumption is proved, it follows that the defeat of Spain could be considered not only to break down the Spanish values but also to accelerate disintegration and deterioration of the order of the Old World.
