One of the United States territorial gains after the Spanish-Americans was Puerto Rico. The Spanish handed it over to the Americans in the Treaty of Paris (1898). They claimed it as a territory of the U.S. and is still viewed as that. However, when looking at it you don't really associate it with the United States as there are many differences between them. For instance, the difference in language and state of the two is vastly different. Aside from that the two have different identities and many have no idea that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, but they mainly associate it as a separate state or country.

Following the Spanish-American War, the United States acquired Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines as territorial holdings. Cuba was not to be annexed by the United States, though that didn't mean that the United States wouldn't partake any involvement in their affairs. Furthermore, the Philippines eventually became recognized as their own independent country after a skirmish with the United States. The United States was able to acquire these territories from the control of the Spanish following their victory in the Spanish-American War. In certain circumstances, to hold certain territorial holdings was debated. McKinley was unsure whether or not to take the Philippines deriving from their victory, but it was the best choice other than leaving it to other imperial-hungry empires. This would go on to mark the age of imperialism, where powers would yearn for land expansion and spheres of influence.
