➼ History & Context
Begun in 1898 with the United States support of Cuba in their bid for freedom from Spain, the Spanish-American War lasted ten weeks across the Caribbean and the Pacific. The US Navy proved superior, and the 1898 Treaty of Paris transferred the countries of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines from Spain to the US, as well as temporary control of Cuba.
The Spanish American War proved to be the turning point for the US becoming a major power as Spain lost the last pieces of its empire.
