Answer 2

The Spanish-American War made the United States an important power in Asia.

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.

At the end of the conflict Spain was defeated and its main results were the loss of the island of Cuba (which was proclaimed an independent republic, but remained under American protection), as well as Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Guam, which became colonial dependencies of the United States, thus enforcing American strategic presence in the Caribbean and South East Asia.
