Answer:

<u>A By forcing Spain to cede Puerto Rico after the Spanish-American War </u>

Explanation:

On November 25, 1897, the Government of Madrid recognized the autonomy of the island, whereby Puerto Rico ceased to exist as a colony. Instead, it became the overseas autonomous province of Spain exactly on par with other Spanish provinces. The Puerto Ricans thus became Spanish nationals and allowed Puerto Rico to have full representation before the Spanish courts in Madrid. The following year, Spain was forced to cede the island to the United States after its defeat in the Spanish-American War.

Who did the Athenian phalanxes defeat at the Battle of Marathon?
Luden [163]
Hey there!
The Battle Of Marathon was an intense battle of the Greco-Persian wars that was about sacrifice and never giving up.
The Greeks, as always, had a smart plan. They fought on a thin, hard to fit through mountain pass and they used phalanxes and defeated the Persian Hoplites and Immortals. They thought they had victory, but eventually, the way around the pass was given to King Xerxes of Persia by a Greek traitor and the Persians one.
