Following the Spanish-American War, the United States gained several pieces of territory from Spain. Name two of them. Puerto Rico Trinidad Guam Costa Rica

Respuesta :

Following the Spanish-American War, the United States gained several pieces of territory from Spain which included Puerto Rico and Guam. This was because the United States gained all of Spain's colonies outside of Africa, except Cuba which became the protectorate of the United States. Spain was evidently outraged by this move but knew it was part of the peace negotiations.

Answer:

1. (Puerto Rico) and 3. (Guam) are the answers.

Explanation: The Treaty of Paris (1898) officially ended the Spanish-American War. The United States acquired Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines as territories. Cuba technically gained its independence, but United States soldiers remained in the country for years, commonly intervening in the new nation's politics.
