Answer 1

Answer:

By gaining possessions and influence in Asia and the Americas during the Spanish-American War, the United States reached a superpower stance among the nations of the world.

Explanation:

The Spanish-American War was an armed conflict that confronted Spain and the United States in 1898, as a result of the American intervention in the Cuban War of Independence.

The Spanish-American War was ended through the signing of the Treaty of Paris on December 10, 1898, in which the independence of Cuba was agreed, which was finalized in 1902; and the transfer by Spain of the Philippines and Guam, in the Pacific Ocean, and Puerto Rico, in the Caribbean, to the United States, thus enforcing American strategic presence in the Caribbean and South East Asia.
