The Spanish-American War

Question 28 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

Which of the following did Spain agree to in the Treaty of Paris? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
to give up all claims to Cuba
B
to sell Puerto Rico to the US
C
to sell the Philippines to the US
D
to give Guam to the US

Explanation

In the Treaty of Paris, Spain gave up its claims to Cuba and ceded Guam and the Philippines to the United States. The United States paid Spain $20 million for the Philippines, so choice C describes a sale. Puerto Rico was ceded to the United States, not sold, so choice B is not accurate.
