"The Capture of Guam was a bloodless event between the United States and the Kingdom of Spain during the Spanish\u2013American War. The U.S. Navy sent a single cruiser, the USS Charleston, to capture the island of Guam, then under Spanish control. However, the Spanish garrison on the island had no knowledge of the war and no real defenses. They surrendered without resistance and the island passed into American control. The event was the only conflict of the Spanish\u2013American War on Guam."@en . "4artillery pieces" . . "Land:" . "3transports" . . "Capture of Guam"@en . . "Spanish Army" . . "Spain" .
