What events resulted from the terms of the peace treaty that ended the Spanish American war?

The Treaty of Paris, which ended the Spanish-American War in 1898, resulted in Spain ceding Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines to the United States. The U.S. also paid Spain $20 million for the Philippines, marking a significant expansion of American territory and influence. This treaty effectively ended Spain's colonial empire in the Americas and marked the emergence of the U.S. as a global power. Additionally, it sparked debates within the U.S. regarding imperialism and the responsibilities of governance over new territories.
