At the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898, Spain lost its colonial possessions in the Americas and the Pacific. Specifically, it ceded Puerto Rico and Guam to the United States and relinquished control of the Philippines, which was also sold to the U.S. for $20 million. This marked a significant decline in Spanish imperial power and the emergence of the U.S. as a global colonial force.
