At the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898, Spain lost its colonial empire 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 influence and territory, signaling the emergence of the United States as a global power.
