What country was not a result of Spanish American war?

the war in afghanistan The defeat of the Spanish Pacific Fleet by Admiral Dewey at Manilla Bay, Philippines. The defeat of the Spanish Atlantic Fleet at Santiago Bay, Cuba, and the American land victory at San Juan Hill on Cuba. It really wasn't much of a war. It prefaced a far larger war which lasted far longer than the Spanish-American War, and that was the Philippine-American War which was not covered in textbooks in many schools, because America is ashamed that it occurred. Although Cuba gained their independence, Philippines should have as well during that war---after all they already had their own Filipino President and Constitution. Americans decided to fight the Filipinos for rule over the Philippines, and this war is sadly addressed only at the end of the Spanish American War. The US wasn't. Spain wasm't.
