Treaty+of+Paris



The Treaty of Paris was an agreement between AMerican and Spain to stop the Spanish-American War. The outcome gave America control over all former SPanish colonies, including Cuba. However no representitives from these countries were present at the time of the signing and had no say in what their own outcome would be. Guam, Puerto Rico, the Philipines, and Cuba all were handed over into American control, even though America had promised Cuba its freedom. The "plan" America set down was to help each country get on its feet and be able to succesfully support themselves economicly before giving them their freedom.
