An armistice was signed on August 12, ending hostilities and directing that a peace conference be held in
Paris
by October. The parties signed the Treaty of Paris on December 12, 1898. Cuba was granted independence, and
agreed to pay the Cuban debt, which was estimated at $400 million. Spain gave the
United States
possession of the Philippines and also ceded Puerto Rico and Guam to the United States. Many members of the U.S. Senate opposed the treaty, however. They were concerned that the possession of the Philippines had made the United States an imperial power, claiming colonies just like European nations. This status as an imperial power, they argued, was contrary to traditional U.S. foreign policy, which was to refrain from external entanglements. The Treaty of Paris was ratified by only one vote on February 6, 1899.
