After the Spanish-American War, the United States acquired several territories, including Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. The Treaty of Paris, signed in December 1898, formalized these acquisitions. Additionally, the U.S. also gained temporary control over Cuba, although it was not formally annexed. These territories marked a significant expansion of U.S. influence in the Caribbean and the Pacific.
