Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The United States acquired the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico as a result of the Spanish-American War. Theodore Roosevelt initially supported imperialism and played a key role in the acquisition of these territories, but later became a vocal critic of U.S. imperialism. Congress did not vote to declare Philippine independence until 1946, and an independent Cuba was eventually established after a period of U.S. military occupation.
