The Treaty of Paris in 1898 ended the Spanish-American War and resulted in the United States acquiring territories formerly controlled by Spain, including Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. The United States agreed to pay Spain $20 million for these territories. Cuba, however, did not become part of the United States and was granted independence, although the United States maintained significant influence over Cuban affairs. Wake Island was not mentioned in the treaty.
