History

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.

How did wealthy families show off their wealth during the Renaissance?
zvonat [6]

The Renaissance took place in Europe during the 14th to 16th centuries with varying local features and causes. It was characterized by a change in the medieval worldview, where the presence of religious motifs was predominant, to the predominance of the reflection about the place of the human being in the universe.  

In order for this change to be financially supported, this was done by the wealthy people from the aristocracy and from the rising bourgeoisie who came to be known as <em>mecenae</em><em>.</em> These people would be honoured, painted and remebered by the artists they financed, publicizing their great cultural wealth.
