Spain retained Florida and Cuba until the Spanish-American War in 1898, when it ultimately lost both territories. Additionally, Spain held onto Puerto Rico and the Philippines for a time, but these were also ceded as a result of the war. Ultimately, Spain's colonial influence diminished significantly in the late 19th century, marking the end of its empire in the Americas.
