OR

Answer 1

Spain ceded Puerto Rico and Guam to the United States

Answer 2

The answer was "Spain ceded Puerto Rico and Guam to the United States."

The U.S. occupied Veracruz during the Mexican war, not the Spanish-American war. These wars occurred some fifty years apart.

Grover Cleveland was not President during or after the Spanish American War, William McKinley was.

Western Samoa was unrelated to the Spanish American War.

Answer 3

The Third one

After Spain signed a treaty with the United States the colonies of Puerto Rico, Philippines, and Guam became part of the US. Cuba was given independence but was controlled by the US in the back room

The Spanish had lost their final toe holds of their american emipre, and the US was now an Imperlist power and joined the world stage for the first time.

Answer 4

The United States did not gain control of Western Samoa. They have never had Western Samoa.

Western Samoa is that part of the Samoan islands that was once occupied by Germany. In World War One the allies in the Pacific - Australia, Japan and New Zealand all seized the colonies of Germany. New Zealand was then awared by the League of Nations a 'trusteeship' over the western Samoan islands.

American Samoa also was not a conquest of the Spanish American War, but was gained through a treaty dividing the islands between itself and Germany in 1899. It may be the timing of this acquisition that made you believe that they gained it from Spain
