In 1910, Puerto Rico was a territory of the United States, having been ceded by Spain following the Spanish-American War in 1898. The island was governed by the Foraker Act of 1900, which established a civilian government but denied full U.S. citizenship to Puerto Ricans. While Puerto Ricans had some degree of self-governance, they faced significant political and economic challenges, including limited representation and ongoing debates about their status. The social and economic conditions were also marked by poverty and dependence on the U.S. economy.
