Why did the US give Cuba their independence but not Puerto Rico?
Cuba won independence from Spain, with the assistance of the United States, but the two were similar in that their status changed as a result of the end of the Spanish-American war and the resultant treaty. Cuba was given independence from Spain in that treaty, but afterward the US claimed Puerto Rico, which had already been independent from Spain. Spain couldn't do anything about it, and the reasons for it were likely that the US wanted to have control over what happened there, and not allow the small country to be influenced against them by anyone else. More recently, at least as recorded by the votes of the populous, Puerto Rico seems to not want to be an independent nation, but prefers statehood. It's definitely a big issue, but the option seems to be on the table, and isn't what everyone wants.
