Answer 1

Here's a good website - it will explain it to you.

In a nutshell, during the Spanish-American war in 1898 or so, the U.S. invaded the island and took control of it.  The island has been a territory of the U.S. since then and talk have been held over the years to bring P.R. into the U.S. as a state.

PIP is an organization who is lobbying for independence and sovereignty for the island nation.  They don't want to become part of the U.S.
