What of these territories did the US acquire as a result of the Spanish-American War?

Answer 1

Technically, Spain ceded only Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines to the US as part of the Treaty of Paris in 1898. Spain simply relinquished all claims on Cuba in the treaty, which the US then ruled under a US Miltary Government until Cuba became a republic in 1902.

*After disputes over what islands to be ceded, the US compensated Spain for the loss of the Philippines in the sum of 20 million US dollars.
The US acquired Guam, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico as a result of the Spanish-American War. Spain forfeited sovereignty over Cuba, although Cuba was controlled by the United States for four years.

Answer 2

The Spanish-American War was mainly fought for Cuban independence. The Americans fought with the Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Filipinos against the Spanish. The American side won and then the US acquired three Spanish territories: the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico. The US also acquired Cuba although this was not a transfer from the Spanish.

Answer 3

As a result of the Spanish-American war, the US acquired Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippine Islands as territories. Cuba remained technically independent, but the United States imposed various restrictions on the new government, including prohibiting alliances with other countries, and reserved for itself the right of intervention. The US Navy retained its base at Guantanamo Bay despite the wishes of Cuba that they leave. The US continues to pay Cuba by check for its "lease" on Guantanamo, but none of the checks have ever been cashed. The Philippines remained a US Territory until after WW2 when they were granted Independence.
