The sinking of the Maine (B) occurred in 1898, which led to the American declaration of war on Spain (A). The Teller Amendment (C) was passed before the war began, in April 1898, which stated that the United States had no intention of annexing Cuba after the war. Finally, the Platt Amendment (D) was passed in 1901, after the war had ended, which gave the United States control over Cuba's foreign relations, finances, and naval base. Therefore, the correct chronological order is B, A, C, D.
