Spain lost many of its colonial possessions as a result of the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Spanish-American War in 1898. The treaty resulted in Spain ceding Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines to the United States. Additionally, Spain relinquished control over Cuba, which was granted independence. This marked a significant decline in Spain's colonial empire.
Cuba was granted independence. Guam and Puerto Rico were ceded to the US by Spain. The US purchased the Philippines from Spain for $20 million.
The US acquired Guam in 1898 in the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Spanish-American War.
