The final result was the Jones Act of 1917, which converted the citizens of Puerto Rico into Americans, although not as a full-fledged non-State: they do not vote in the presidential elections and the laws passed by their government-elected for the first time by Puerto Ricans in 1948 - they can be vetoed by the United States.

In fact, although the Jones Act granted Puerto Rican civil rights (and also obligations, such as being part of the US military conscription: 20,000 Puerto Rican soldiers fought in World War I), the United States continued and continues to maintain control over its affairs. fiscal, economic, military, postal, etc.

They also committed to work in the territory of the Philippines so they can be independent.

How does the cause-and-effect structure support Tuchman’s viewpoint that the new illusion of omnipotence must also be shattered?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
It shows that the war resulted in a new illusion of omnipotence."In April 1917 the illusion of isolation was destroyed, America came to the end of innocence, and of the exuberant freedom of bachelor independence. That the responsibilities of world power have not made us happier is no surprise. To help ourselves manage them, we have replaced the illusion of isolation with a new illusion of omnipotence" Barbara Tuchman
