The Spain Treaty was a result of the Spanish-American War ( late 1890's). With it Spain recognized the independence of both Cuba and the Philipines . Puerto Rico became a U.S. territory. Spain also relinguished all of its claims to previously helded land in the Western Hemisphere. The aforementioned lands, as well as the Guam islands.

The U.S. paid Spain approximately $10 Million dollars for the Philipines , however, the Philippines would go to war with the U.S for its eventual independence.
