Question

What was the outcome of the Spanish-American War?

Answer 1

The outcome of the Spanish-American War was a quick U.S. victory.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Spanish-American War which continued merely for 6 weeks ended the colonial empire of Spain in the region of Western Europe and helped U.S. to gain the position of pacific power.

The victory of U.S. had resulted in the peace treated by which Spain was forced to give up its control over the territories of Cuba, Philippines, Guam and Puerto Rico and accede these territories to U.S.

Though Cuba was given its independence after the war but certain conditions were imposed under the Platt Amendment which gave U.S. considerable control in the affairs of Cuba and also established its naval base in Cuba.
