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/
