Who did the US purchase Puerto Rico from?

Answer 1

Puerto Rico was ceded to the US by Spain at the end of the Spanish American War. The US had invaded and occupied Puerto Rico before Spain ceded the island.

Answer 2

They were ceded by Spain after their loss in the Spanish-American War. It is true that the US paid Spain $20 million but that token amount included the Philippines and the removal of all Spanish influence from Cuba as well. However, the above history official story was just a mock battle "for show". America was competing for colonization against Spain, which do not want to share. So, America bombed one of their naval ship docked at Cuba, the USS Maine. Then blamed Spain for an act of war, unless Spain cedes the Philippines, Guam-marianas islands and Puerto Rico. Contrary to the official historical translations,the ones that really sold the said archipelago was its rightful owners, the Tagean Tallano ruling class Family clan who were the real owners since Pre-spanish times when the said archipelago was referred to as the Muslim National Archipelago, ran by strings of Sultanate/s governments. Wherein Raja Sulayman was the son's Clan and kinships with Raja Humabon and Panglima (Governor) Ege of Sempurna (Malaysia) also known as Datu Pula whose proper name was Kaliph Pulaka but better known as Lapulapu. Benito Tallano handed the 20M in Gold coins paid by Spain to America provided America concurs the recognition of ownership to the ruling class Family Clan already thru the Torrens System by Spain when Magellan arrived. yes, the owner/s sold the said archipelago for said recognition substantiated thru the Torrens system titled by Spain, concurred by America court decree in "The Return of Sherriff" court certification. The Torrens System of Land settlements under a Land Title was the only evidence to substantiated the Ownership of this Ruling Class Family Clan. Prior to that, the said ownership covered Selurong-Luzon, Vigaya, Mindanao, Sulu, Malaysia, Singapore, Guam-Marianas Islands, Carolines islands up to Hawaii. This continent of islands was then called "Maharlika" and only then with Spain that ownership to the Clan was substantiated on paper. Search: Tala Estates, Tagean-Tallano, Bolkiah-Arpa.
