In winning the Spanish-American war, in 1898, America gained temporary control of Cuba and indefinite colonial authority of Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines from the Spanish.

In 1946 the Philippines gained independence from the U.S, but Guam and Puerto Rico are still today U.S territories.

They also got a neverending headache because of Cuba.
