SPANISH AMERICAN WAR
"The Spanish-American War was an armed military conflict between Spain and the United States that took place from April to December 1898.
The war began due to American demands that Spain peacefully resolve the Cuban fight for independence, though strong expansionist sentiment in the United States may have also movitated the government to target Spain's other remaining overseas territories: Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and the Caroline Islands.
Only 109 days after the outbreak of war, the Treaty of Paris, which ended the conflict, gave the United States ownership of the former Spanish colonies of Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Guam. The US occupied Cuba, ending the insurrection and expelling the Spanish colonial authorities."
