Answer 1

Spain ceded only Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines to the US as part of the Treaty of Paris in 1898. Spain simply relinquished all claims on Cuba in the treaty, which the US then ruled under a US Miltary Government until Cuba became a republic in 1902. *After disputes over what islands to be ceded,the US compensated Spain for the loss of the Philippines in the sum of 20 million US dollars.The US acquired Guam, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico as a result of the Spanish-American War. Spain forfeited sovereignty over Cuba although Cuba was controlled by the United States for four years
