After the Spanish-American War, Cubans and Puerto Ricans a. Became Spanish citizens b. Had their rights restricted c. Joined the U.S. Military d. Became U.S. Citizens

Answer 1

Answer:

b. Had their rights restricted

d. Became U.S. Citizens

Explanation:

The United States obtained a colony of Spain in the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico in frames of a treaty, and Cuba became an American protectorate. However, the United States imposed various restrictions on the new government, including prohibiting alliances with other countries, and also reserves the right to intervene. For Puerto Ricans, it resulted in American citizenship (eventually) but not self-rule. Filipinos, did not get citizenship or independence.
