HELP HERE:
1) When was Puerto Rico granted US Citizenship? When did it officially
become a US State according to the textbook (WHY)?
The Foraker Act of 1900 gave the Puerto Ricans a limited degree of popular
government. In 1917, they were granted U.S. citizenship.
IT NEVER HAS BECOME A STATE! Probably due to a lack of natural
resources/GDP.
2) How did the Teller Amendment affect Cuba in 1898? What is the Teller
Amendment (explain its BASICS)? YOU CAN GOOGLE THIS ONE!
The United States, honoring the Teller Amendment of 1898, withdrew from
Cuba in 1902. The U.S. forced the Cubans to write their own constitution of
1901 (the Platt Amendment). The Cubans hated this document because it
was written to benefit the Americans.
The Teller Amendment was an amendment to a joint resolution of the United
States Congress, enacted on April 20, 1898, in reply to President William
McKinley's War Message. It placed a condition on the United States
military's presence in Cuba as to be only occupied in case(s) of WAR!
3)What were the lasting effects of the Spanish-American war that went WAY
beyond its 113 days?
Although the Spanish-American War only lasted 113 days, it increased
American prestige around the world.
One of the greatest results of the war was the bonding between the North and
the South.
