What happened to Guam after treaty of Paris?

After the Treaty of Paris in 1898, which ended the Spanish-American War, Guam was ceded to the United States by Spain. The U.S. established a naval station on the island, marking the beginning of American governance. Guam remained an unincorporated territory, experiencing changes in administration and infrastructure, while its residents were granted U.S. citizenship in 1950. The island’s strategic location has continued to play a significant role in U.S. military operations in the Pacific.
