The Spanish-American War confronted Spain and the United States in 1898, as a result of the American intervention in the Cuban War of Independence.

At the end of the conflict Spain was defeated and its main results were the loss of the island of Cuba (which was proclaimed an independent republic, but remained under American protection), as well as Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Guam, which became colonial dependencies of the United States. In the Philippines, the US occupation degenerated into the Philippine-American War of 1899-1902.
