Editing Spanish–American War (section)

===Long term impact===
The medical crisis of the Spanish–American War had far-reaching consequences:<ref>Cosmas, pp. 273–278.</ref> More soldiers died from disease than from combat (fewer than 400 killed in action vs. thousands from illness) This led to significant reforms in military medicine and sanitation practices. Special boards, such as the U.S. Army Typhoid Board, were established to study the outbreaks and recommend preventive measures.<ref>Vincent J.
