The US's involvement was rather minor, mainly protecting US citizens located in Cuba at the time of the revolution.  The sinking of the USS Maine drew the US into full combat.  Wether or not Spain was responsible for the sinking is still controversial I suppose, but it is the event that triggered the war response from US citizens.
