The Spanish-American War was mainly fought for Cuban independence. The Americans fought with the Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Filipinos against the Spanish. The American side won and then the US acquired three Spanish territories: the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico. The US also acquired Cuba although this was not a transfer from the Spanish.

1898 the us gained control or micronesia?

In 1898, the United States gained control over several territories in the Pacific as a result of the Spanish-American War. While the U.S. did not directly acquire Micronesia, it took control of Guam, which is part of the region. The broader control over Micronesia came later, particularly after World War I when Germany's territories were ceded to Japan, and then after World War II when the U.S. administered the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, which included parts of Micronesia. Thus, while the U.S. influence in Micronesia began in 1898, full control developed in the following decades.
