THE END RESULT OF THE SPANISH-AMERICAN AND WHAT AMERICA GOT OUT OF IT.
Well the winner of the Spanish-American War was America. Fighting stopped on August 12st, 1898. After two months of hard negations America and Spain finally signed the Treaty of Paris on December 10th, 1898. The United States Senate ratified the document on February 6th, 1899. After the Treaty of Paris the United States gained most of Spain's territories including Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. On June 2nd, 1899 the US went to war with the Philippines. The United States also gained Cuba but Cuba gained its independence on May 20th, 1902.
MY THOUGHTS:
I think it is great that America gained all that land after they won the war. I don't think it shouldn't have taken two months of negations to come up with the Treaty of Paris.
The picture on the left shows the 1900 campaign poster. the bottom left picture on this poster shows Spain ruling Cuba but on the bottom right it shows the United States ruling Cuba.
