Not sure if significant, but the Spanish American war was started by a FF.

"Remember the Maine"

"Sinking of the USS Maine

The USS Maine was an American armored cruiser that sunk in Havana harbor (Cuba) after a mysterious explosion on the evening of February 15, 1898. The ship had been deployed to Cuba “to protect U.S. assets” during a Cuban revolt against Spain, of which Cuba was then considered a province.

The cause of the Maine ’​s sinking remains the subject of speculation, despite official inquiries and more than a century of investigation. Suggestions have included a fire in one of her coal bunkers, a treacherous Spanish naval mine – and her deliberate sinking to drive the U.S. into war with Spain. The ship exploded suddenly, without warning, and sank quickly, killing nearly three quarters of her crew of 374 officers and men.

While the sinking of the Maine was not a direct cause of the Spanish-American War, the official explanation that it was sunk by a Spanish mine was very useful as a catalyst to inflame American opinion and build support for the war, which broke out in April 1898, barely two months after the sinking – but that’s probably just a coincidence.

The phrase, “Remember the Maine, to Hell with Spain”, quickly became a rallying cry for action.

Incidentally, as a result of this ten-week war – in which future President Theodore Roosevelt had a taste of war at the head of the “Rough Riders” – Spain relinquished sovereignty over Cuba, and ceded to the United States the islands of Puerto Rico and Guam, as well as the Philippine Islands – all for the fantastic sum of $20 million. Of course, the United States were never after such gains when they entered this “just war” against the barbarous Spanish aggressors who had struck at hapless American sailors in the dead of the night."
