d. The Philippines became independent

Respuesta :

Answer:

b. Puerto Rico and Guam were made US territories.

Explanation:

Spain did not admit a responsibility in the explosion onboard of the Maine, because it had nothing to do with it. The Philippines went to be annexed by the United States as Spanish sovereignty was transferred to the U.S. Cuba was granted independence from Spain but fell into American influence that controlled its domestic politics. Puerto Rico and Guam became American territories; Guam is still, and Puerto Rico is a free associate state with Puerto Ricans entitled to have an American passport and free entry to the U.S. today.
