Was Guam purchased from Spain?
NO. The United States took control of the island in the 1898 Spanish–American War as part of the Treaty of Paris which ended the war and granted the US all of Spain's colonies in the Pacific.
Why was Guam so important during the Spanish-American War?
Guam was a Spanish Colony and therefore it was a US target. It was a bloodless takeover.
Guam was of use as a coaling station. All coal powered steam Navies needed places to re-coal their fleets.
It was important, strategically, and also allowed the merchant marine to re-coal.
It gave us a life line between Hawaii and the Philippines; which opened up the orient to US interests.
What is taken in war can be kept, what is stolen after the war as an after thought is not allowed.
We also took Cuba and Porto Rico.
After WW1 we would end up with some of the German south sea islands, as coaling stations and strategic points needed to control the choke points of the ocean world after the Mahan theory which is still valid.
Because a man named William Seward and the president of the United States at the time, Andrew Johnson, I believe, bought it and eventually made it a state. You might as well ask why California is a state. We bought the land and made it so. I hope that answers it suffiecienty.
